They were the first to unveil reindeer names this year and now Edinburgh Trams have confirmed that just like on the West Midlands Metro there is a competition if you spot any of the reindeer running in service! All you have to do is spot any of the festive fleet, take a picture and send it to Edinburgh Trams in order to be entered into a festive prize draw.<\/p>\n

The naming of trams after Santa\u2019s reindeer is a little different in Edinburgh as different names are carried on each end of the tram but the original eight \u2013 Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen \u2013 can be found on the trams in the fleet (four different trams have been chosen to carry the names). Rudolph isn\u2019t carried on any operational tram but as we featured a few days ago he can be seen on the mock-up at Edinburgh Airport.<\/p>\n
