Edinburgh Trams has suspended all services from 10am today, as Storm Éowyn batters the Capital.

With all Edinburgh schools closed and all Lothian bus services and train services across Scotland already cancelled today, Edinburgh Trams has now taken the “difficult decision” to suspend all services from 10am today, Friday, January 24.

The tram system in Edinburgh was already running a reduced service due to the weather, but at 9am this morning they announced that all trams would be suspended in the Capital, adding that they hope to be back up and running this evening.
