Trams on Hold as Building Safety Threat | Edinburgh News

Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

Trams to Leith are still down since July 9th after a fire damaged a Princes Street building—now, even empty trams could destabilize it. Crews are securing the facade and planning vibration tests before cautiously reintroducing trams. If that stalls, officials are eyeing a risky, costly alternative: hauling trams by road using cranes and special trucks. With Festival and Fringe looming, pressure mounts to restore service safely—no easy fix in sight.
