  1. Happy New Year from #Edinburgh, and a •huge thank you• to everyone at #LothianBuses and #EdinburghTrams for providing, respectively, cheap and free (and incredibly frequent) all-night services to help everyone get home safely from celebrating #Hogmanay! ☺️🍾🥂

  2. @tildalwave @kalleboo @0xabad1dea it also goes a long way to solving the bicycle problem, actively discouraging cyclists from going near the tram tracks.
    Time the #edinburghtrams took it on board .

  3. Ticketless #trams travel coming soon to #EdinburghTrams with the introduction of tap on / tap off payment by contactless bank card, including a maximum fare cap – finally integrated with #LothianBuses to allow proper #multimodal journeys.

    (#TransportForEdinburgh travel passes (aka “Ridacards”) still offer the best value for very frequent travellers.)

  4. ...and 19 trains, 2 shuttles, countless ubahns/sbahns and 2 trams, 5 cities, 3 countries, 2 conferences, one summit later, it finally ends just like it began, with a ding-ding!

  5. Happy 10th Birthday to #EdinburghTrams, seen here from the site of the original York Place city centre #trams terminus, looking towards the adjacent stop at Picardy Place on the completed line to Newhaven, which itself opened 1 year ago next week. #Edinburgh has further lines in planning.

  6. The idea: #eduroam on the #trams! What could go wrong?

    The reality: I have to disable wifi and use 5G because eduroam on the trams is unusably slow and patchy.

    Likewise (or at least from Edinburgh/Glasgow southwards), and I also thought that #EdinburghTrams should have built (and opened sections) inwards from the airport to Edinburgh Gateway and Edinburgh Park, and then to Haymarket, etc…

  8. Great to see the Victorian underground cable-winding mechanism from Edinburgh’s original tram network up close this morning.

    The permanent display at Iona Street, near to where they were originally found, is a beautiful new feature for Leith.

    Here’s hoping the youngsters respect this piece of history. But I suspect Scemo and his fellow spray-painters will be out vanity-tagging and bringing the place down, as per usual.
