Overall Rating
Good
Set in a mostly residential area, the Port of Leith tram stop offers everything I’ve come to expect from the other platforms along the route. With level boarding, tactile paving, seating and a rain shelter, it really is the only way to fly… or roll.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
I'm glad to say this is typical of other stops on the route. Ramps are in place on both sides of the platform, which sits in the middle of the road. There are traffic lights at either end with tactile paving on both sides to help people cross safely, although you will need to cross the tram tracks. As with other stops across the city, seating is available under rain shelters and in the open if you need a rest while you wait for the next tram. Hearing loops and overhead signage are installed on the platforms. Ticket machines and smartcard readers are provided, though some may prefer to buy a ticket on the Edinburgh Trams app.
Accessible facilities: Single-level venue, Step-free entrance
Parking & Transport
Average
I travelled to this place by walk or wheel
I've rated this a little lower as public parking is in short supply. Although the Fingal car park is 160 metres away, I understand it is for hotel guests, which makes it handy if you're staying there. There are no bus stops immediately nearby. EV charging is available half a mile away at the Source EV Charging Station near the Ocean Terminal shopping centre.
