Wow!!!

Glad to see you our dear new tram in Edinburgh City Centre ;-)

I see that the next stop is York Place. Final stop.

Are you going?

No, you don't.

Not yet.

Full line testing now underway...passenger service in May!

Wait for the beginning of the new festival season.

Should be right time for official opening of the line for trams.

Many congratulations to Edinburgh. You got it. Finally ;-)

What will be the next?
