An airport- bound Tram pulls into West End - Princes Street tram stop on 28 January 2016. This stop was originally to be called Shandwick Place; less ambiguous and in fact where the stop is. The gable in the background is on Canning Street, from the days when streets were named after prime ministers even if they'd only been in office for 4 months.
