Council to investigate £327,000 pay-off for Edinburgh Trams boss

The council merged the boards of Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams in late 2025 as part of Edinburgh’s wider transport reform programme.

Sarah Boyd was appointed as the new chief executive to oversee both networks.

Lea Harrison took up a new post as managing director of Blackpool Trams in March.

Unite said Lothian Buses also authorised a separate £120,000 payment to a former director, revealed in documents that will go before Edinburgh councillors on Thursday.

Unite industrial officer Lyn Turner said: “Serious questions arise about why such excessive golden goodbyes were authorised by both Edinburgh Trams and Lothians Buses. Where was the governance?

“An immediate inquiry must be held by the council because it appears that there were no proper checks and balances in place.”
