VIDEO – First journeys on Edinburgh Trams

2014_05 Tram launch and first day 2

The Edinburgh Reporter was at York Place waiting for the first tram from the Gyle to arrive in the city centre. A muffled cheer was heard as the tram reached its destination. It was full to the brim of intrepid first journey makers and the windows were a bit steamed up!

Subsequent trams were not so full and it was very pleasant to step aboard at York Place and take a trip up to Princes Street where we got some more shots of the tram on a very beautiful Edinburgh morning.

Here are a few photos of some of those first journeys. You can add yours to our storyboard here.
