Good to know before you book
On event days the trams and the stadium stop can become very busy. Allow extra time, says Edinburgh Trams.[9]Reported by official source
Our minutes go to the stadium tram stop, not to your gate: the stadium entrances are not clearly on the map. The stop is reached by stairs or a lift.[10]Reported by official source
Not checked: the last trains from Haymarket station and which gates open for concerts or rugby.
Times, routes and fares can change. We show what the official source said on the date we checked it; always check the operator before you travel.
