Trams & Buses
Official Maps
|
I've been looking for Edinburgh tram and bus
maps. Those in the table below are the ones that I have found to
date. I hope to add some of them to the EdinPhoto web site later -
but not the recent ones for copyright reasons.
The maps have been found in:
- my collection (PAS)
- National Library of Scotland Collection
(NLS).
Some of the information in the table below may be
sufficient to enable a more accurate date for
the map to be ascertained.
All the maps below, apart from the first one, are
folded maps. |
