We raced an Edinburgh tram and Lothian bus to see which is faster on new route

The first Edinburgh trams to Newhaven are due to start this week - with many locals anticipating the start of delay-ridden project.

The route will add almost three miles of tracks, with the project starting in November 2019. Residents and local businesses have been eager to see the trams fully functional after waiting almost four years.

The route will begin carrying locals around the city centre from Wednesday at 12 noon - for the first time in 67 years.
