We’re gearing up to help revellers get home after the New Year festivities at the world-famous Edinburgh Hogmanay celebrations.

Once again, we will be running our ever-popular all-night trams to help party goers make the most of the New Year celebrations – and after midnight, they’re free! 

I used a Maestro card - why can I see a pending payment of £20?

If you use a Maestro card, you will see a pending payment of £20 following your first tap of the day. This is just a temporary value, which we will not collect in full. The following morning, we’ll work out your daily travel charge (which depends on how many journeys you made that day/night) and change the value to the cost of your journeys.

Christmas is coming, and so are the Festive timetables!

As usual, we'll run a normal service on almost every day over the festive period, ensuring that you can glide to Festive events, Christmas parties and home for Christmas almost uninterrupted.

To ensure the safety of those working on or near the tramway, we’re reminding contractors of the Authority to Work permit requirements, which must be agreed before any works can commence. 

Permit+ - the online Authority to Work management system - was developed to provide an efficient and secure way for our team to oversee requests for permits, which are required for contractors who are looking to work on or near the trams.
