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 recent conflicts.
Free Travel for Veterans and Serving Forces
To recognize the sacrifices of armed forces members, Edinburgh Trams offers free tram travel for veterans and active personnel of the Army, Navy, and Air Force on both days. Passengers can access this by presenting their military ID or wearing their uniform.
Poppy Scotland Participation and Displays
Before the remembrance days, Poppy Scotland representatives will be at the Haymarket tram stop selling poppies. Additionally, poppies will be displayed in tram windows as a sign of respect.
Two-Minute Silence Observance
Where safety permits, tram services will pause at 11 a.m. on both days to observe a two-minute silence.
“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.”
Edinburgh Trams' initiatives highlight its commitment to honoring military sacrifices through meaningful actions and community engagement.
