This weekend looks set to see Edinburgh Trams welcome a newly wrapped tram into service. It is presumed that this will again be 261 with revised vinyls applied following the removal of the adverts for the free service on Hogmanay although currently no further details have been revealed of which tram is involved. What is known is that the vinyls will advertise Edinburgh Trams’ new #Tramspotting campaign encouraging people to “Chose the Tram” for travel into the city.
Lea Harrison, Edinburgh Trams General Manager, commented: “he wrapped tram will help promote the newly enhanced service pattern we introduced at the start of the year that now sees trams running from every 7 minutes throughout the day, including weekends. With our trams featuring in the new Trainspotting film, we thought we’d tie in with the excitement around its imminent release by using the ‘Tramspotting’ hashtag. It’d be great to see pictures on social media from customers who have spotted the special tram out on the system! With trams travelling through the heart of the of the city all day, every day, we’ll be looking to wrap more trams in future to help give an extra boost to some of Edinburgh’s prestige events.”
