  • Chapter 2: the Proposed Scheme

    Chapter 2: the Proposed Scheme

    2 The Proposed Scheme 2.1 Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the proposals for Line One of the Edinburgh Tram. It describes the proposed route of the tram, and outlines the key elements of the design of the scheme. It also describes how the scheme will be constructed and operated. 2.2 Scheme Description 2.2.1 The Preferred Route Alignment The proposed alignment for Line One is 15.5 km (approximately 10 miles) long. It will connect the city centre with Granton along the line of the former Roseburn Railway from Haymarket, pass through the Waterfront Edinburgh Ltd (WEL) development area in Granton to Newhaven and Leith and then run back to the city centre along Leith Walk. The tram alignment follows various forms. In some sections the tram route is entirely separate from road corridors and traffic. Here it is referred to as ‘segregated’. Where the alignment is separated from the road corridor, but adjacent to a road, it is referred to as a public transport corridor or ‘segregated on-street’. Sections which are described as ‘integrated’ with traffic (or ‘joint running’) run on-street and share part or all of the road carriageway with existing traffic including buses, taxis, cars, cycles and commercial vehicles. In terms of distance, 68% (10.5km) of the route is entirely segregated from traffic, 17% (2.7km) follows a segregated on-street public transport corridor, and 15% (2.3km) is joint running (integrated with traffic). Wherever possible, a segregated alignment has been proposed so that the tram system can maintain speed, frequency and reliability of service without interference to or from other traffic.
