The revised timetable will run until further notice to allow maintenance work of the overhead wires to take place and to ensure the completion of essential engineering works, Edinburgh Trams is operating on the temporary timetable.

Trams are currently running every 15 minutes between Edinburgh Airport and St Andrew Square and further details of any timetable changes can be found here.

It is unconfirmed how long the limited time table will take place but updates are available online.

A spokesman from Edinburgh Trams said: “Our engineering team is carrying out essential maintenance to resolve a fault on the overhead power line and these temporary measures will help us to maintain a reliable and robust service for customers."

He added: "We would like to assure customers that we are working as quickly as possible to complete these works and would like to thank them for their patience and understanding.

"We would also urge them to follow our social media channels for further service updates.”
