New Trams

It was planned that Edinburgh's new trams would link Newhaven with Edinburgh Airport, and that Ocean Terminal would be the first stop on the route from Newhaven.  The trams were due to start running in 2011.

However, now at October 2011, following delays and higher costs than expected, the route has been curtailed.  The only part of the route currently under construction is from  St Andrew Square to the airport.  Trams are now expected  to start running on that part of the route some time in 2014.
