Various studies, from 1989 onwards, considered the reintroduction of trams to Edinburgh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scottish Light Rail : is it a "U" Turn? )〕 In 2001, a proposal for a new Edinburgh Trams network envisaged three routes across the city, Lines 1, 2 and 3. Line 1 was a circular route running around the northern suburbs, with the other two forming radial lines running out to Newbridge in the west and to Newcraighall in the south respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Tram Facts 8 )〕 All lines would run through the city centre. Line 3 was later shelved due to lack of Scottish Parliament approval. Lines 1 and 2 were combined and split into three phases, with Phase 1 being further divided into Phase 1a and 1b. Phases 1b, 2 and 3 were not funded, and only a truncated section of the planned Phase 1b line (running from the airport to the city centre) has been constructed. == Line 1 (North Edinburgh) == Line 1 was planned to be a circular route with 22 stops running around the northern suburbs, following a route from the City Centre, St Andrew Square, York Place, Picardy Place, down Leith Walk to Leith and Newhaven. The line would then run along the waterfront to Granton, where it would then loop back, taking over the disused Caledonian Railway route between via Crewe Toll to Wester Coates and Haymarket. Upon reaching Haymarket, trams will return to on-street running mode and head back along Princes Street. Line 1 comprised of on-street track integrated with other traffic, of segregated track running along existing roads, and separate tramway. The on-street sections of track would be in the centre of the road in some locations and at the kerbside in others. On the disused line to Granton, the tram line would be integrated with cycle and pedestrian pathways along the Roseburn wildlife corridor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Edinburgh Tram (Line One) Bill Environmental Statement )〕 In the initial Phase 1a of the project, only the Newhaven-Leith Walk-Princes Street section of this route was included, with trams then continuing west to the airport (Line 2 route). Further construction of the Line 1 loop (Phase 1b of the project) was cancelled in 2009 due to financial constraints, postponing construction of the Haymarket-Granton section of this line indefinitely. Phase 2, which would complete the loop with a line from Granton Square to Newhaven, also remains unfunded. 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「Proposals for new tram lines in Edinburgh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
