Edinburgh Trams to Commemorate Remembrance Day
Edinburgh Trams will honor Remembrance Sunday on 9 November and Armistice Day on 11 November to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in World War I, World War II, and more recent conflicts.
To recognize the sacrifices of the armed forces, free tram travel will be provided for veterans and serving members of the Army, Navy, and Air Force on both days upon presentation of a military ID or by wearing uniform.
In the days leading up to the commemorations, representatives from Poppy Scotland will be stationed at the Haymarket tram stop selling poppies, with additional poppies displayed in tram windows.
As a gesture of respect, tram services will pause at 11 a.m. for two minutes of silence on both days, provided it can be done safely.
“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 with many colleagues who have also served, we are deeply committed to honoring all who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.” — Lea Harrison, Managing Director, Edinburgh Trams
