00:00Trams have been an established part of Edinburgh's transport system for more than a decade now.
00:07The line between the airport and the city centre opened in May 2014.
00:13The extension to Leith and on to Newhaven came into service in June 2023.
00:19And now there are plans for another expansion with the north-south line from Granton through the city centre to the Royal Infirmary and beyond.
00:30The new line would mean up to 17 new tram stops along the way, including one on North Bridge, with a lift going directly down into Waverley Station.
00:42But there is controversy over a choice of route on the northern section of the line, should the trams run along the Roseburn Path, a popular green cycle and pedestrian route, or go down Crewe Road South, up Orchard Bray and over Dean Bridge.
00:59The new line is estimated to cost between two and two point nine billion pounds, and it's not clear how that bill would be paid.
