Passenger services on Edinburgh’s new tram line to Newhaven have been launched with the help of the community along the route today - 7th June 2023.
The first paying customers boarded the service, operated by Edinburgh Trams, between Newhaven and Picardy Place, and onward to Edinburgh Airport, at 12pm.
As part of a joint venture, Sacyr, Farrans and Neopul (SFN) has delivered the Main Infrastructure & Systems Contract for the City of Edinburgh Council for the Edinburgh Tram to Newhaven project.
The 2.9 mile, eight stop route, which has been under construction since November 2019, has been delivered on schedule.
Over recent months rigorous testing to ensure the newly constructed line, software and signals work effectively and safely has included running trams at half and full speed and eventually to timetable, work to integrate signalling and interface with Edinburgh Trams’ control centre and driver familiarisation.
