In Pictures: Works continue on Trams to Newhaven project

This has been taken outside 131 Lindsay Road, which is in effect the eastern end of the future Newhaven terminus tramstop where trams from the city centre and beyond will be terminating. It is looking eastbound and the previously mentioned ramp will be constructed between the two retaining walls to enable trams to travel between Lindsay Road and Ocean Drive. To the right of the photo is the junction of Lindsay Road and Hawthornvale (by the green painted Haven Café). Until the Western Breakwater was built in the late 1930s and land for industry started to be reclaimed, the Firth of Forth reached right up to Lindsay Road. The actual Newhaven tramstop will be behind the photographer and is due to feature two side platforms with a stabling area for trams provided beyond the stop.
