When the deal was announced of the C R Smith adverts on Edinburgh Trams it was said that there were to be 18 trams so treated but since mid-January, and that after a three month break, only 17 have been in service. That has now changed though as 251<\/strong> \u2013 which was previously in a promotional livery for Decide to Glide #tramspotting \u2013 has now returned to service as the 18th and final C R Smith advert.<\/p>\n

This theme of the advert on 251<\/strong> is from Cumbernauld to St Fillans. Cumbernauld is in Lanarkshire and was designated a New Town in 1955 whilst St Fillans is a village at the eastern end of Loch Earn in Perthshire. The statue on the right of the image is the \u201cMirror Man\u201d which is found in Loch Earn and was returned to this location in January of this year after a spell away.<\/p>\n

Of note is that fleet numbers have been applied to this tram in a new position above the cab window. Whether this is a one off or will be continued in the future remains to be seen but hopefully it may make identification of trams a little bit easier!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Edinburgh Trams have also confirmed that they will once again be using a tram to promote the Royal Highland Show, which takes place at the Royal Highland Centre close to Ingliston Park and Ride from 21st to 24th June. An \u201ceyecatching\u201d vinyl wrap will be applied to a tram and it trams will run up to every 3 minutes throughout the event.<\/p>\n
