    The Trams Granton to the Edinburgh BioQuarter and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and Beyond consultation for the expansion of the tram network will begin later this month.

    The City of Edinburgh Council will be seeking views on the proposed new tram routes from Granton in the north of the city to Edinburgh BioQuarter and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and beyond into the region.

    The consultation will start on Monday 25 August 2025 and run for 12 weeks, finishing on Monday 17 November 2025. It will be hosted on the Council’s Consultation Hub.

    This consultation will inform the development of a Strategic Business Case (SBC) for the expansion which will then be presented to the Transport and Environment Committee in 2026.

    Further information, including details of public events, will be issued in due course.

    'Naming things is hard' strikes again.

    Wait, we might extend to Musselburgh!

    Hold on, nobody knows where or what the Bioquarter is!

    Also seen today, 'reminder' from Edinburgh Trams that they won't be accepting cycles during festival season.

    Last week my 14yo somewhat randomly met up with a pal in Dalry, said they were going to 'cycle around saughton park'.

    Somewhat unsurprisingly, they ended up going down the WoL and exploring various places. Eventually ended up in Granton and then took the tram home (they had young scot cards, but no one asked to see them!).

    Nice that they have the freedom/infra/govt support to do that.
