TRAVEL UPDATE

Please allow extra time when travelling to the Traverse.

There is currently disruption to public transport and traffic in Edinburgh city centre following a fire that led to the closure of part of Princes Street. Some bus and tram services are operating altered routes or terminating earlier than usual, and journey times may be longer than expected. We recommend checking your route before travelling and allowing additional time to reach the theatre.

For the latest travel information and details of the current arrangements, please visit the City of Edinburgh Council's Princes Street updates page.
