Finances at Edinburgh City Council have been hit so hard by the coronavirus crisis that it could lead to funding for the tram extension being jeopardised, Edinburgh Conservatives have warned.
The Tories financial spokesman at the City Chambers, Graham Hutchison, warned that the impact of COVID-19 on the finances of Lothian Buses was so great that a £20m dividend from the council-owned bus company, is under serious threat.

THE inquiry into Edinburgh's tram fiasco today announced it will begin public hearings in September. Inquiry chair Lord Hardie was appointed in June 2014 to look into what went wrong with the £776 million project. The inquiry team has had to examine millions of documents and has already taken statements from many key players. Today Lord Hardie announced oral hearings would get under way on September 5. The hearings are expected to take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays each week until all evidence is heard, which the inquiry says is likely to be several months.

Edinburgh's £776m tram network was running at an average of 25% capacity, newly released figures show.
Passenger numbers on the network almost doubled between 2014 and 2015 to 5.3 million, but the services have the potential to carry 21 million people per year. Each tram has a capacity of 250 and the vehicles make a total of 85,000 journeys per year. It means, on average, three-quarters of the space on the network was unfilled. The trams were originally designed to run for 15 miles from Edinburgh Airport to Leith by 2011, at a cost of £375m. But a truncated nine-mile service, stopping in the city centre, opened in 2014, at a cost of £776m - with interest charges expected to push the final bill to about £1bn.

The inquiry into the Edinburgh trams fiasco could lead to criminal prosecutions, the judge chairing the investigation has said.
Lord Hardie said his inquiry must not rule on, and has no power to determine, a person's civil or criminal liability. But he said: 'that does not mean nobody will be prosecuted as a consequence of their involvement in the project'. The former Lord Advocate is preparing to take evidence from councillors and the public affected by the disruption. He said the inquiry 'is not merely an academic exercise' given City of Edinburgh Council's indications it may extend the line, and said public co-operation was vital to enable him to make recommendations about future projects.

The cost of the inquiry into the Edinburgh trams fiasco has exceeded £3.7m, BBC Scotland has learned.
The probe is investigating what went wrong with the £776m project which went massively over-budget and was completed five years later than planned. It was established in June 2014 by Alex Salmond, then first minister, who said it would be 'swift and thorough'. A spokesman for the Edinburgh Tram Inquiry said it was making 'good progress'. However they were unable to say when Lord Hardie, who is leading the inquiry, was due to report its findings. (Permalink) Edinburgh Trams |

Councillors in Edinburgh have agreed the city's tram line should be extended by three miles to reach Newhaven.
The decision to approve the proposal in principle was described as a 'first cautious step' during a meeting in the City Chambers. It follows a council report that recommended extending the current line to Newhaven at a cost of £144.7m.

The Edinburgh trams inquiry will examine six million documents as part of its investigation into what went wrong with the project. Speaking at the first preliminary hearing, Lord Hardie, who is leading the probe, said it would not determine why the project went ahead. He also said it would not decide if anybody was legally responsible or financially liable.

Edinburgh Trams lost almost £450,000 in 2014 - less than expected due to higher than predicted passenger numbers.
Three million people used the trams, following the launch of the service at the end of May 2014. Bosses estimate it will take three years for the trams to make a profit.

The man leading the public inquiry into the Edinburgh trams fiasco has told how key figures refused 'point blank' to co-operate.
In a BBC Scotland interview, Lord Hardie pledged his investigation would be tough and effective. The Scottish government said last month the inquiry was to be given the power to compel witnesses to participate.

Councillors are set to consider whether the tram network in Edinburgh should be expanded, seven months after the trams began running.
The council is to look at extending the line from the city centre to Leith - part of the original design scrapped when the project ran into trouble. The line currently stops at York Place in the city centre. (Permalink) Edinburgh Trams  York Place [Tram]: The buffer at Edinburgh Trams York Place terminus on 23 September.

The official inquiry into the Edinburgh trams fiasco has been given increased powers, after some of those involved with the project refused to co-operate.
It has been given 'statutory' status by the government in the wake of concerns raised by chairman, Lord Hardie. The government and the inquiry has not named those who would not co-operate. Edinburgh's tram service began running in May but only after six years of disruption and a bitter dispute between the city council and its contractor. The previous Labour-led Scottish government originally earmarked £375m to pay for the tram network, which ended up costing £776m and began running years late (Permalink) Edinburgh Trams  Princes Street [Tram]: Looking back from westbound Tram 266 turning into Princes Street from South St Andrew Street on Saturday 31 May 2014, the first day of public services.

Trams are returning to Edinburgh's streets for the first time in almost 50 years. However, in the decade since the first money was allocated to the project, the price has doubled, the network has halved and it has taken twice as long to build as was first thought.

One of Edinburgh's new trams has completed the first test run along the city's most famous shopping street.
Tram 264 made the journey on Princes Street late on Wednesday night, flanked by teams of engineers. It travelled from the tram depot at Gogar on Edinburgh's western outskirts to York Place in the city's east end. The tram crew and engineers completed the necessary track tests ahead of schedule, returning to the depot in the early hours of the morning.

The Forth Bridge for example, completed in 1890 at a cost of £3 million (£1.3 billion in today's money), was built by four rail companies without parliamentary committees, political footballing, consultants, media campaigns or social impact assessments. Nostalgia for Victorian values in construction has its limits; 63 workers died building the Forth Bridge. Nevertheless, as is clear from the delay surrounding major UK projects, from High Speed 2 (HS2), to the third Heathrow runway, to the Edinburgh trams to the Borders Railway, advances in the delivery of infrastructure are less obvious than progress in health and safety.
When it comes to big transport projects, political priorities are impeding the UK's ability to compete internationally and to shore up the country's shaky finances.

Edinburgh's trams will be running by May 2014, the city council has announced.
The council also said that, after six years of construction, the capital's streets would be clear of roadworks by 19 October. Tram testing between the airport and Edinburgh Park will begin earlier in the month. Test trams will be running along the entire route to the city centre by December.

BLUNDERING workmen have derailed the trams project by cracking vital concrete sleepers – setting back the clearance of vital roadworks and dealing a blow to any notion of the trains running by Christmas.
An original estimate of four weeks to fix a concrete problem between Haymarket and Shandwick Place is now likely to take in excess of four months, leaked e-mails have revealed. It is understood the delays have occurred after concrete sleepers used to stabilise the tracks were cracked during drilling to remove the rest of the incorrectly laid concrete. The bungle raises questions about the ability to hit the December deadline the council is believed to have been privately working towards. The Evening News first reported in late May that more than 150 metres of concrete would need to be relaid through the West End after several areas failed quality assurance tests. The stretch of route affected is believed to be closer to 500m.

Edinburgh’s trams could be running by Christmas, business leaders have been told.
The Scotsman has learned that several major retailers briefed on the project have been assured that the route may be ready by mid-December, once test runs are completed and mandatory safety certificates issued. Senior transport officials held a series of private meetings with traders last week to provide them with an update on the project’s progress. The director of one major store said he had even been privately told of a date – 15 December – but council leaders last night denied this.

The first completed section of the tram route has been handed over from the contractor to Edinburgh City Council.
The occasion was marked by Transport Minister Keith Brown and Edinburgh's Transport Convener, Lesley Hinds, taking a trip on the line. They travelled the 2.8km stretch by tram from Ingliston Park to Edinburgh Airport and back again. Trams are due to be running in Edinburgh by the summer of 2014.

A PLANNED 35-mile rail network from Scotland's capital into the heart of the Borders is on track to be a repeat of the Edinburgh trams debacle, it has been claimed. The warning came after the Borders Railway Project, that would link Edinburgh to Tweedbank for the first time since 1969, suffered extended delays and escalating costs.
Tory MSP John Lamont's comments came after figures released under the Freedom of Information Act that show completion has been delayed by a year to 2015, and that it will cost almost double the original budget of £115 million. Almost £54m has already been spent on the scheme without a single piece of track being laid.
