Health chiefs call for ERI tram
HEALTH chiefs today reiterated the need to build a tram line to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
It is understood the future of tram line three, which has been shelved, was discussed at a dinner between some of the city's civic and business leaders earlier this week.
John Jack, director of facilities with NHS Lothian, said today: "NHS Lothian remains a staunch supporter of efforts to improve public transport in Edinburgh, reducing the reliance on private cars.
"A tram stop at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh makes absolute sense, both for our patients and for our staff and is key to the further development of the ERI and the wider site."
