June 2014. Transport for Edinburgh has said that the trams will start running in May and will give 4weeks notice of the start date. That would seem to tie in with the start of fare-paying service of the trams. There is no mention of a start date on the TfE website or in the Edinburgh Evening News, though I expect a big fan-fare any time now.

I saw on the BBC news (formerly Ceefax) pages yesterday that the Edinburgh tram route will commence on Saturday May 31st. Oh well, having pledged May it is at least in the month promised, albeit the last day! This would make June 1st a logical date for bus route changes, as these usually occur on a Sunday.
