This time on “Out and About” we are in Edinburgh City Centre with a view of a tram running on a section of track which passengers now won’t be able to travel along until 2023.
Here we see 274 against the background of the east façade of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery which is found on the corner of North Saint Andrew Street and Queen Street. The tram is heading to the Airport and has just come off the curve from York Place ready to ascend the slight slope to St Andrew Square tramstop. This looks northwest. No passenger trams will run along this section again until 2023 when the extension to Newhaven opens with the line to York Place now closed to allow more work to take place.
