One of two trams to get revised adverts for their ongoing sponsor in Edinburgh was 275 which received new partial advertising for EPSC – coming around a year after it originally started to advertise the company.
As with the last advert (and indeed the previous ad for ESPC carried on 272 in 2022/3) its in the normal partial advertising style which includes two full height sections and the rest of the tram containing just adverts above the windows. It’s a slightly different colour scheme this time (using slightly darker shades of similar colours).
This is the sixth different advert to be carried on 275. It started off, as so many did, with adverts for C R Smith (October 2017-May 2019) before its had further designs for EE 5G (June-July 2019), Scottish Rugby (July 2019-November 2021), Play at Edinburgh Park (June 2022-January 2024) and then the first of its EPSC ads (January 2024-January 2025).
275 is seen here at Haymarket with its new EPSC vinyls telling us to “Get ahead of the game”, which was rather apt on this day as it was the first match of the Six Nations Championships.
