There were delays to the tram service in Edinburgh on Friday 12th January after a coach collided with an overhead post close to the York Place terminus. The coach – from Park’s of Hamilton and operating a Perth to Edinburgh service – was turning across the tramway as it approached the St Andrew Square Bus Station when the collision occurred shortly after 1200. Edinburgh Trams services were temporarily suspended between York Place and West End Princes Street whilst the collision was dealt with and the damage was assessed before a full service could resume.
