Edinburgh’s dream of a new tram line from Granton to the Royal Infirmary and BioQuarter is stalled by fierce political battles, with the SNP blocking both proposed routes and local elections looming — making politicians wary of risky votes. The Dean Bridge option, favored by some, faces near-certain rejection due to lack of cross-party support, while the Roseburn Path route may not survive either. Compounding the problem: the project could cost £2-3 billion, with no clear funding source — the Scottish Government won’t chip in, and the council can’t afford it beyond a small business case budget. Even if officials recommend a route, councillors may choose to abandon the whole project to avoid division and electoral fallout. Without funding, the North-South tram expansion remains frozen, caught between political games and economic reality.
