  • After midnight, all trams will be FREE to help everyone get home safely!The split service will run between West End – Airport and Picardy Place – Newhaven, serving all stops along the way.
    • Between Midnight and 2am trams will run from every 10 minutes.

Visitors from outside the city can also avoid the hassle and expense of finding a parking spot by leaving their cars at Ingliston Park & Ride, which offers designated drivers over 1,000 free parking spaces. For tram customers, the facility will remain open through the night, rather than being subject to the usual 2.00 am close.
