The accident happened yesterday shortly before 3pm, with both vehicles damaged.

Other trams forced to stop at Shandwick Place caused congestion, with one blocking the junction with Torphichen Street until the damaged vehicle was removed.

A spokesman for Transport for Edinburgh said: “We can confirm that one of our buses and a tram collided. There were no injuries to passengers but there was some damage to both vehicles.”
