Sarah Singh, head of service delivery at Edinburgh Trams, said: “Once again, a packed programme of activities next month will see hundreds of thousands of people flock to the city, and we’re all set to play our part in what has become one of the world’s most famous celebrations of arts, culture and comedy.

“In the past, this 24-hour weekend timetable has proved a huge hit with festival goers and it’s sure to be as popular as ever this year.”

The Ingliston Park and Ride will remain open overnight on weekends during the festival timetable to help tram customers travelling from outside Edinburgh.

Ms Singh added: ““With plenty of free spaces, it offers the ideal place for visitors to leave their car before completing their journey into the city centre by tram, which continues to offer excellent value for money.

“Normal fares apply throughout the night, and a host of great travel deals and ticket offers are available for people staying over for a few days, or families travelling together as a group.”

Tickets can be purchased at tram stop ticket machines or booked in advance online. Customers can also download the Edinburgh Trams app.
