The ever changing scene of adverts being carried on trams in Edinburgh certainly keeps us in news with the latest new advertiser on the tramway being Spotify with both 262 and 267 being seen in identical designs, with different colours held on each side.
For 262 this is a return to an advert livery following the removal of its advert for Macdonald Hotels Leisure Breaks/Paul Tamburrini Restaurant a few weeks ago whilst 267 has gone straight from an advert for EE 5G to this design.
Whilst they are not true all over adverts in the traditional sense this is as close as it gets in Edinburgh with the standard full height adverts on sections three and five with the other four sections featuring just above window adverts. There may be two new adverts but one advert which has now gone is that on 264 for Parabola and the Edinburgh Fringe, with these vinyls having been removed over the past week or so.

The vinyls are advertising various podcasts available through Spotify with different colours used on each side.
