Summer in the city is starting to heat up, and as we make our way to the warmer months, so are the events heading our way in June!
There’s plenty to join in on this month, from an international country star hitting the stage at Murrayfield, the return of the world-famous Royal Highland Show, celebrating Edinburgh Pride, seeing Scotland take on the World Cup and everything in between! Plan your month ahead and glide to events across the city with Edinburgh Trams.
This weekend, on Sunday 31 May, the Edinburgh Trams team will be celebrating our birthday as we have officially been gliding across Edinburgh for 12 years!
From the daily commute to the first stop on the way to the airport, and everything in between, the multi-award-winning tramway has continued to help locals and visitors alike glide across the city and beyond.
Edinburgh’s multi award-winning tramway is celebrating a major milestone as Tap On, Tap Off (TOTO), turns one today!
TOTO, which was Scotland’s first multi-modal, multi-operator Account-Based Ticketing solution, has revolutionised how people travel across Edinburgh, by offering a modern ticketing solution for tram users who use their contactless card or device to pay.
Planning is currently underway for if Hearts FC win the Scottish Premier League on Saturday 16 May.
If they do win, there will be a victory parade on an open-top bus through the city centre, with a route which goes directly past three of our tram stops (Princes Street, West End and Haymarket).
We are today announcing a joint initiative with charity RAPAID Emergency Bandages to store its emergency bandage kits onboard trams, so that their life-saving bandages can be available throughout the city.
With the busy summer season fast approaching, we would like to remind customers about the conditions of carriage regarding bikes on board trams.
It may have taken a while to get there, but the weather seems to (finally!) be gearing up for the summer months and we’re so ready for it! In the Scottish capital, we’re never short on things to do and events in the city and May is no exception.
Plus, this month is cause for celebration as it is the one-year anniversary of Tap On, Tap Off (TOTO) going live and our 12th birthday – now that really is a reason to celebrate!
Heading to the first home game of the Guinness Women's Six Nations this weekend (Saturday 18 April) to cheer on Scotland? We’ll be there, running additional trams before and after the game to help you make moves to Scottish Gas Murrayfield!
The historic match-up will see Scotland Women take on England’s Red Roses on Saturday, with the game taking place for the first time in the main stadium at Murrayfield.
Spring has finally sprung and Easter is almost upon us.
At Edinburgh Trams, safety is our number one priority. We always encourage caution on and around the tramline, regardless of whether you’re a passenger, pedestrian, or driver.
To remind those travelling near the tramline, we’re promoting the Light Rail Safety and Standards Board’s ‘Two Lines = STOP’ safety campaign, prompting pedestrians to pay more attention when travelling near the tramway.
