Edinburgh tram line section to close for three days
Trams will not run between Picardy Place and Haymarket during the works
- Published
A key section of the Edinburgh tram line will be shut for three days while engineers replace track points.
Trams will not run between Picardy Place and Haymarket while the work takes place from Saturday 27 September until Monday 29 September.
Services will still run on either side of the closed section, with trams operating between Edinburgh Airport and Haymarket, and Newhaven and Picardy Place.
The stops at St Andrew Square, Princes Street and West End will re-open for normal service on Tuesday 30 September.
Marilena Papadopoulou, Edinburgh Trams head of projects and renewals, said the work was part of a wider programme aimed at maintaining and modernising the system.
She said they were "doing all we can to keep the city moving" during the closures.
"Members of our team will be on hand at key locations and at closed stops to offer travel advice, and to help customers complete their onward journeys.
"We would ask customers to allow a little extra time for their journeys, and to thank them in advance for their understanding while we undertake these necessary works."
