Senior directors from Siemens, CAF and Bilfinger have been in Edinburgh to see the progress of the city’s tram project.

Dr Jochen Keysberg from construction company Bilfinger SE, Dr Jörg Schneppendahl of Siemens AG and Antonio Campos from CAF met with Scottish Transport Minister Keith Brown during their visit to the Scottish capital.

Brown said: “This was a welcome opportunity to meet with representatives from Bilfinger Siemens, and CAF and receive a progress report on the project.  While there is no room for complacency, we should remember that some businesses and the public are still facing disruption, however, steady progress is in line with the revised schedule to allow completion in summer 2014.

“We are all determined to deliver a project that will help put Edinburgh on the map for all the right reasons, and mean a massive boost to the local and national economy, as well as increasing public transport options for the public and visitors.”
