143 years of transport for Edinburgh

February 24, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The animation was made by Heehaw Digital for Lothian Buses to celebrate 143 years of life. 1871 sees the trams arrive in Edinburgh; that’s before Waverly Station. Broughton Street had Edinburgh’s first ever traffic lights.

The video has music from the appropriate years in history (ish) and must be designed to accompany the return of the trams to the city.

What do you make of the video? Educational?
