Edinburgh Trams has joined forces with organisers of an international volleyball tournament to champion ‘green’ travel for competitors.

Edinburgh’s award-winning tram system is set to offer quick travel for visitors to one of the city’s most popular annual events.

When the Royal Highland Show returns later this week, anyone planning a trip to the world-famous exhibition of rural life in Scotland can avoid the traffic congestion in the area by taking the tram.

There was certainly ‘Sunshine on Leith’ last week for the launch of a new tram route to Newhaven, and with services now up and running in the area, fans of Scotland’s most famous rock and pop duo can enjoy convenient travel to their shows over the weekend.

With the launch of passenger services to Newhaven today (Wednesday, June 7), the Edinburgh Trams team stands ready to introduce its award-winning brand of service excellence to tens of thousands of new customers.

A committed, highly skilled team with a passion for customer service is gearing up to help local communities to make the most of Edinburgh’s expanding tramway.

Edinburgh’s expanding tram system is enjoying a double celebration this week after announcing record-breaking passenger numbers in the run-up to its ninth birthday today (Wednesday, May 31).

When ‘The Boss’ takes to the stage at Edinburgh’s most iconic stadium on Tuesday, fans can be sure of quick and convenient travel to the concert thanks to the city’s trams.

Passenger services on the new tram route to Newhaven are scheduled start at 12pm on 7 June, it was announced today (Thursday, 25 May).

Extra trams are being lined up to help concertgoers to make the most of two high-profile concerts at BT Murrayfield at the weekend.

Following a series of successful daytime trials on the Newhaven line, the next stage of testing and commissioning will commence on 18th May ahead of the launch of passenger services.
