'Ghost' trams will tonight begin running up and down Leith Walk in Edinburgh to test out the brand-new extension to the network before its official opening. As part of the first stage of testing and commissioning, empty trams will drive at walking pace along small sections of the new route during evening and night shifts to minimise disruption to traffic. Official marshals will be in place to ensure the trials go to plan. The tests are expected to start from about 8pm from Picardy Place.
