Santa's Train |
|
Princes Street Closed to Traffic Princes Street between the Scott Monument and the West End was closed to traffic in Autumn 2011 to allow the lines for Edinburgh's new trams to be re-laid. The first attempt to lay these lines was not successful. The re-laying of these lines will resume after the Christmas and New Year Holiday, but for the present festive period, Christmas and New Year, Princes Street has been opened again to pedestrians - but not to traffic, apart from Santa's train, seen above. |

Santa's Train Santa's train has been running between Jenners and the West End providing lifts for children (£1.50) and adults (£2.00). This is the closest we have seen yet to a tram service in Princes Street in recent years! |
