Design

With the exception of Airport terminus and Murrayfield Stadium stop, the stops are basic open air structures built at ground level. Ten of the stops feature two side platforms (i.e. the double-tracked tram line runs between them). The other five are arranged as follows:

• 1 single side platform (York Place terminus)
• 1 terminal island (Airport)
• 3 through islands (West End-Princes Street; Princes Street & St Andrew Square)
