In October 2004, the Parliamentary committees considering the Edinburgh tram line bills asked us to submit evidence for their consideration. We responded to both the Tram (Line One) Bill Committee and the Tram (Line Two) Bill Committee. The bills being considered by these committees, if passed, will form the basis for building and running Edinburgh’s first two proposed tram lines. We hope that the Private Bills Committees will take our concerns into consideration.
