Edinburgh Tram North Leg Shelved

from Edinburgh News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Edinburgh’s North-South tramline hit a major snag as the northern leg—from Granton to the city center—is effectively shelved due to lack of political support, despite a September decision still looming. With public opposition to the project and key parties like the SNP, Lib Dems, and Conservatives voicing concerns, focus is now shifting to the southern route toward the Royal Infirmary, seen as more viable for regional connections. While the full business case develops, the political consensus leans heavily against extending northward—leaving hopes pinned on the southern section to revolutionize city travel first.
