Tram Boss Walks Away With £370K

Edinburgh’s former tram boss Lea Harrison walked away with a £370,000 payout after stepping down in January, sparking outrage from city council leader Jane Meagher who called it “unacceptable” — especially since it’s roughly ten times the average Edinburgh salary. Questions now swirl about whether the payout followed proper contractual and procedural steps, given the publicly owned transport services operate semi-independently. An immediate investigation has been launched by the new combined transport board to review all documentation, while Harrison has already landed a new role as managing director of Blackpool Trams starting March.
