Edinburgh Trams 256 using Haymarket Yards platform.
Edinburgh Trams came up against a number of problems on the morning of 28 November 2023. A tram broke down early in the morning but later, two non tram related incidents caused further disruption. Police closed a part of Leith Walk (following a crane collapse at Stead’s Place) and Edinburgh Trams curtailed operations to the section of route between Edinburgh Airport and the Haymarket Yards where a crossover, loop and temporary platform exist. In this view looking east, tram 256 has arrived from the airport at the temporary platform and has decanted the passengers. Others are now joining for the trip west towards the airport. This was just before service was reestablished over a longer section of the route from the airport to Balfour Street. Barely an hour later, there was another short interruption to eastbound services owing to an accident between a car and bus on Princes Street before service was restored to Leith tramstops to Ocean Terminal.
