Trams will be travelling on the Newhaven extension soon, though don’t expect to be hopping on one.
Testing is set to begin on March 13, Edinburgh Live understands, after two-way traffic returned to Leith Walk a few weeks ago. This comes after the overhead power lines were connected, and will ensure a ‘safe and reliable’ service.
While the trams will be seen rolling up and down Leith Walk, they will not be taking on passengers. The testing period will see empty vehicles on the route, before they open to the public in June.
