Construction lessons learnt from the over-budget Edinburgh tram network have informed successful work on the remainder of the line.
The £207.3M Edinburgh Trams to Newhaven project is currently sitting within budget and remains on track to complete in spring 2023.
The project is a continuation of the existing Edinburgh Tramway Network, which runs from Edinburgh Airport to York Place. When originally proposed in 2003, the 14km Edinburgh tram line was predicted to cost £375M, but after significant delays the cost hit £776M when the line was finally opened in May 2014.
Edinburgh remains saddled with £250M of debt from this original line, which was not completed.
