Free trams on Hogmanay
Edinburgh Trams will run free all-night services to help tens of thousands of partygoers enjoy themselves at Hogmanay in the city centre.
The move has been successful in previous years and the tram operator will again run between Edinburgh Airport and the West End stop and between Picardy Place and Newhaven – there will be no trams to Princes Street or St Andrew Square stops while arrangements for the street party are in place.
To keep the city moving, the service frequency will be up to every 10 minutes from midnight until 2 am, then up to every 20 minutes until approximately 9am on New Year’s Day.
The timetable for 30 and 31 December and throughout the night will be as below. Customers can also check Edinburgh Trams social media for any live updates.
Jon McCulley, Operations Manager, said: “We are delighted to be able to play our part by making sure crowds can gather across town to welcome 2025 in high spirits.”
As part of this year’s Hogmanay, rock legend Texas will headline the concert in Princes Street Gardens in the run-up to the Bells. Further information about this and other events can be found here.
Jon added: “With trams running around and beyond the city centre, those planning to visit their families or friends for a more intimate celebration can also rely on us to go back home wherever they decide to call it a night!”
