The Edinburgh Tram is a fleet of 27 low-floor trams built by CAF of Beasain, in the Basque country of Spain between 2009 and 2011 for use on the Edinburgh Tram line in Edinburgh, Scotland. == History == The contract to build a fleet of 27 trams for the Phase 1a (currently on hold) and Phase 1b tram lines was awarded to the Spanish rail equipment manufacturer CAF in November 2007 and is worth up to £40 million. The trams are built to meet the highly bespoke specifications issued by Transport Initiatives Edinburgh (''TIE''), which precluded the use of an existing design. CAF was selected by competitive tender from a list of four rail vehicle manufacturers, the others being Alstom, Bombardier, and Siemens. A full size mockup of the front of the proposed tram was constructed and put on display on Princes Street for the public to view. The replica tram was moved to Constitution Street at the foot of Leith Walk in April 2009.〔Today's Railways Issue 86〕 There was also a tram front mockup put on display at the Gyle Shopping centre next to the bus stop. The first finished tram was delivered on 26 April 2010 and went on public display on 28 April 2010 at the location of the previous mockup in Princes Street, before being moved to open storage in Broxburn in November 2010. The tram arrived far in advance of the completion of infrastructure (including its home depot), which has suffered serious delays and cost over-runs. The tramway opened on 31 May 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edinburgh Tram (vehicle)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
