Edinburgh locals speak of 'relief' as they get first glimpse of trams to Newhaven

The Newhaven tram line from the city centre is set to open to the public in a little over eight weeks time.

Construction of the route is estimated to add almost three miles of tracks since it was started in November, 2019. Some Edinburgh residents are eager to see the trams fully functional as they have waited almost four years to see them running.

However, there is varied opinions about the trams, not least on Leith Walk as many residents have criticised the cost, time spent and the disruption that the project has caused.
