Trams to Newhaven
Trams to Newhaven will add 4.69 kilometres/2.91 miles of track in both directions, connecting Leith and Newhaven to the current end of the Edinburgh tram line at York Place with eight new stops (see route map below). This will offer residents access to high capacity light rail which will sit alongside the existing bus service as well as improved cycling and walking infrastructure along the route.
Construction commenced in November 2019 with Edinburgh Trams timetabled to take their first customers to and from Newhaven in Spring 2023. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times during construction. The hours for construction work are Monday - Friday 7am - 7pm and Saturday 8am - 1pm.
You can find more detailed information on the project related to construction, supporting business and expected delivery timescales here.
