In the lead up to Christmas 2018 Edinburgh Trams not only put some Christmas decorations up on their trams but also went to the effort of naming some of the trams after Santa’s reindeer! Trams seem to have received two names – one at each end – and although we don’t have a complete list in the interests of the Christmas spirit below we include details of those noted!
256
Dasher
Dancer
269
Blitzen
276
Rudolph (with red nose!)
Prancer
The Blitzen name on one end of 269.
