The City of Edinburgh Council are reported to be launching a series of plans for a brand new tram route that will stretch across a different section of the city.
With works down on the Newhaven line extension still in progress, officials are set to put forward the proposals, which would see the tram operate on a north-south line. Hoped to run from Granton all the way through the city centre and down to the furthest south point of the capital, the idea is said to be part of suggestions to boost Edinburgh's transport system.
The Herald reports that the proposals are thought to be launching before the end of 2022, and will also look into the idea of reopening the south side railway line. Expected to cost somewhere in the region of £1bn, it is thought that the plans would estimate that if they were to go ahead, the new tram route would be completed by 2030.
