An Autumn sun illuminates Princes Street on 17 November 2009 as the approach of Christmas becomes ever more apparent. Edinburgh's Christmas tree has just been winched into place on The Mound, various rides and amusements are springing up in Princes Street Gardens, Christmas toys and gifts predominate in the shops, children are thinking about Santa Claus ...and the good people of Edinburgh are starting to believe in trams.

...Edinburgh tram works, looking west along Princes Street at the foot of The Mound on 24 November 2009, with two continuous tracks now in place between Waverley Bridge and Lothian Road.  The road surface is currently being restored before handing Princes Street over to Christmas shoppers etc from 29 November!

Welcome indeed... the total takeover of Edinburgh's Princes Street by the tram works seems almost complete in this view from the west end on 7 April 2009. The Castle has, of course, seen it all before.
