After the flooding earlier in the week which affected Edinburgh Trams, they are now running a full service from York Place to Edinburgh Airport.
Severe weather overwhelmed drainage systems and caused flooding at the A8 underpass between Edinburgh Gateway and Gyle Centre tram stops. This prevented trams from operating through the area.
Edinburgh Trams has been working with its partners around the clock to reduce the water to a safe level. The cause of the flooding is still being investigated in co-operation with our partners.
A spokesperson for Edinburgh Trams said:
“We’re sorry that we’ve not been able to operate full services while we supported the efforts to clear the flooding. The reduction in water levels has allowed us to perform an inspection of the area and recommence full route services.
“We’d like to thank our customers for their patience as we worked hard to resolve the incident as quickly as possible.”
