Back to EpisodesEdinburgh Tram Expansion: New Route, Big Costs
Description
Edinburghs tram expansion plans face significant challenges as the city councils SNP group opposes the main routes, advocating for a faster southern stretch and a new northern path.

Opposition leaders label this a political stunt, highlighting the councils spending on studies despite budget constraints. The full project is estimated to cost between two billion and two point nine billion pounds, with no funding pledged yet. As votes approach, the tram saga continues to unfold.
