Plans for a north-south Edinburgh tram line that could take passengers from Granton to the city centre via Orchard Brae and out into Dalkeith are set to be considered by the council early next year.
The proposed extension is central to plans for a 'mass rapid transit corridor' to reduce congestion and streamline public transport across south-east Scotland to meet the needs of the region's growing population.
If approved it would double the length of the existing line, including the new section through Leith which is due to open in the spring.
