Tram extension: Have Your Say

TUESDAY 28th OCTOBER 4 – 7pm DRYLAW NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE

A public consultation on the future development of Edinburgh’s tram network is running until 17 November 2025.

The proposed new tram route would run from Granton to the Edinburgh BioQuarter and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and potentially beyond into the city region and the project is keen to hear views from local people.

Members of the project team will be at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre on Tuesday 28 October 2025 from 4pm – 7pm to answer your questions.

Trams consultation: Local drop-in session added in Drylaw

The city council has added a further Drop-in Session on the North-South Tramline  Consultation Proposals following a request by Drylaw Telford Community Council.

More than 40 people attended last week’s community council meeting to discuss tram line options for the area, but planned guest speaker Cllr Stephen Jenkinson, the city council’s Transport and Environment convener, was unable to attend and submitted his apologies on the afternoon of the meeting.

The council is proposing a north – south tram route which would run from Granton, through the city centre, out to the Edinburgh BioQuarter and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh via Cameron Toll, and potentially beyond into the city region.

The meeting – the best-attended community council event for some years – went ahead and called for a local drop-in event for Drylaw Telford residents in line with those staged at Blackhall Primary School, Granton Station and North Edinburgh Arts.

The community council has also submitted a list of questions raised by residents at the meeting for a council response.

As a result, another local Drop-in will take place on: 

Tuesday 28th October

from 4 – 7pm in Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre

There will also be another opportunity see what is being proposed and to make comments at Bristo Baptist Church on Wednesday 29 October from 4 – 7pm.
