Edinburgh Trams is today announcing an increase in ticket prices, in line with its sister company, Lothian Buses. This is the first time since 2023 that fares have changed and reflects the increased operational costs faced by the operator in the last two years. Fare changes will come into effect from start of service on Sunday 6 April.

The fare changes will see the cost of an Adult Single fare rise from £2 to £2.20, and an Adult Return fare rise from £3.80 to £4.20. Day Tickets will also increase by 50p, to £5.50.

With spring fast approaching and the days getting longer, Edinburgh offers an endless range of shows and activities – whether you’d like to venture outdoors or enjoy some good indoor entertainment – it is still Scotland, after all - our tram stops ar

Did you know that a tram weighs approximately 56 tonnes? And yet, trams are quieter and smoother than buses due to the rails; you might not notice they’re coming if you’re distracted.

We’ll be shutting a section of the tram network for 3 days in February so that the network can undergo essential maintenance work.

As Scottish Gas Murrayfield begins centenary celebrations in 2025, its home team is also celebrating the economic impact and benefits it brought to Edinburgh and the Scottish economy in 2024.

We think it’s been the longest January on record. Maybe ever. If you’ve been hibernating at home recently, we can’t blame you - but it’s time to leave the house, hop on the tram, and see how February's calendar is shaping up!

We’re thrilled to announce that our record-breaking tramway has been shortlisted for two accolades for Edinburgh’s top awards ceremony.

Following advice from the Scottish Government and Police Scotland, we are sorry that we have now taken the difficult decision to suspend all services from 10:00, and service will not resume today (Friday 24 January). 

Robert Burns always had a soft spot for Edinburgh, calling it “Scotia’s darling seat” – which is one reason why we’re so excited to celebrate his birthday on 25 January. The food, music and whisky help too!
