Edinburgh Trams to commemorate Remembrance Day

Edinburgh Trams to Commemorate Remembrance Day

Edinburgh Trams will honor Remembrance Sunday (9 November) and Armistice Day (11 November) to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in World War I, World War II, and more recent conflicts.

Free Travel for Service Members

On both days, veterans and active members of the Army, Navy, and Air Force can travel for free by presenting their military ID or wearing their uniform.

Poppies and Reflection

In the days leading up to the remembrance events, representatives from Poppy Scotland will be at the Haymarket tram stop offering poppies for sale. Poppies will also be displayed inside tram windows as a sign of respect.

Two-Minute Silence

When safe to do so, tram services will pause at 11 a.m. to observe a two-minute silence on both commemorative days.

“Each year I am proud to show our support at Edinburgh Trams on both Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day. As a former veteran myself, and a number of our colleagues being former service men and women, we are passionate about paying tribute to all of those who have paid the ultimate price throughout the years while serving our country.” — Lea Harrison, Managing Director, Edinburgh Trams
