Construction works of the new Edinburgh Gateway transport interchange which will see both a railway station and tram built open by the end of 2016 are continuing. In this pictorial update from John Hampton we take a look at recent progress whilst we also find the tram mock-up now situated at Edinburgh Airport.<\/p>\n

This is a general view of the construction works for the new Edinburgh Gateway tram-train interchange which provides a link between trains on the route to\/form Fife and Edinburgh Waverley with the Edinburgh tram. It is due to open towards the end of 2016. Tram 275 is passing through the new tram stop, the base for which and the platform edge upstands were built at the time of the construction of the original tramway.
