There will be more tram services serving passengers at peak times in a timetable change being introduced.
The extra trams are being introduced at selected points in the timetable following a review of customer travel patterns since the launch of services to Newhaven last year providing additional capacity during the busiest times of the day.
Edinburgh Trams has analysed information and refined its timetable to reflect the needs of a growing number of customers whilst taking into account road conditions and restrictions at different times of the day.
Sarah Singh, Head of Service Delivery at Edinburgh Trams, explained: “The extra trams will run in between the existing seven-minute services in the morning and late afternoon peaks to maximise comfort and convenience for customers.
“Other changes include minor adjustments to journey timings and departure times for the first and last trams, which will help us to improve reliability and service resilience.
“This is the first timetable review since the successful opening of the line to Newhaven and takes on board feedback from customers and other stakeholders to help deliver an ever more robust, reliable, comfortable and convenient service for the tens of thousands of people who rely on us every day.”
The changes will come into effect from Sunday, December 1, and further details can be found here.
