NT 2640 7505 Watching briefs were carried out, 6–12 October 2016, during groundworks associated with redevelopment at the site of the former transport depot. The work monitored part or full removal of a tunnel associated with a late 19th-century steam power plant for a cable driven tram system. The tunnel ran from the engine room at the back of the site
across to the former tram line along Leith Walk. Features recorded within the tunnel indicated that it had been roofed and was further modified after it went out of use as a cable shaft in 1922.
