INSANE: First edinburgh daytime ghost trams seen as testing continues on newhaven link | Vintage Vibes

Edinburgh's first daytime 'ghost trams' appeared on the new line between Picardy Place and Newhaven for the first time on Wednesday as footage from inside the driver's cockpit shows the new link in action.

Locals spotted the trams making their way from the city centre, down Leith Walk to Newhaven as the official launch date edges nearer. Last month, overnight testing began on the line to minimise disruption to traffic.

Empty trams will now make their way to Newhaven as locals are encouraged to stay clear and not attempt to get onboard. Starting off at walking pace, the testing process recently increased to the maximum 20mph.
