It may be three years away (if everything goes according to plan) but good progress continues to be made at various locations on the route of the Trams to Newhaven project in Edinburgh with the \u201cone spade\u201d process seeing all work in one area taking place in one closure.

Excellent progress has been able to be made around Ocean Terminal as the utilities were diverted as part of the original tramway construction project before the decision was made to concentrate on just the York Place to Edinburgh Airport section.
