Tram testing begins on the line to Newhaven

A tram has been trying out the new part of the line between St Andrew Square and Newhaven on Monday night.

This is the very first tram to use the new route and it travelled very slowly, with observers at the front and back. The tram proceeded at just walking pace, and without any passengers aboard.

This is the first phase of testing to be carried out before Edinburgh Trams takes over the route all the way to Newhaven. Watch out for more trams being tested over the coming days.
