Last week we bought you a full Photo Gallery featuring Edinburgh Trams (if you haven\u2019t seen them yet and want to you can find them at http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/gallery478.html<\/a>). The locations included were limited to in and around the city centre but we can now bring you a photographic feature with more shots of the trams but this time moving out of the city centre and onto the remainder of the line. With thanks to John Hampton for providing these photos.<\/p>\n

One of only two trams in the unbranded livery, 269. heads towards the city on what was originally part of the guided busway. The concrete base of the busway was left in place and the tracks laid on top.<\/p><\/div>\n

255 leaves the Edinburgh Park viaduct over the railway and is about to enter the tramstop on its way to the city. The Novotel hotel in the background is the venue for the 2014 Light Rail Transit Association AGM. Delegates with rooms on the north side of the building will have good views of the trams!
