Trams will stop at Picardy Place

THE TRAM TO NEWHAVEN project is progressing and just last month the roundabout at Picardy Place became the focus of the latest work. It is here from spring 2023 that there will be a new interchange for Edinburgh Trams and Lothian Buses.

While pedestrians can access the area at all points during construction, it is an area for vehicles to avoid for now while track laying progresses.

Access from Picardy Place to Broughton Street is prohibited for the sixteen week closure until May.

There are diversion routes for all vehicles travelling from London Road to Picardy Place, and Lothian Buses have details of the services affected by diversion routes on their website.

When complete the line will have a stop at St Andrew Square as it does now and the next stop will be at Picardy Place before proceeding down Leith Walk and stopping at McDonald Road, Balfour Street, Foot of the Walk, The Shore, Port of Leith, Ocean Terminal and Newhaven.
