Commuters will be able to perch in the waiting area of the Princes Street tram stop for a rest or strike their best pose for photos. Every ticket from the tram will be stamped and can be redeemed for a discounted drink at either of the new Edinburgh Blank Street stores on Victoria Street or Princes Street.
