Testing and Commissioning
With main construction now finished and the testing and commissioning process about to start, please see below information on scheduled activities.
w/c 13 March 2023 evening
The first stage of testing and commissioning will involve a tram travelling at walking pace along the route. This will take place during evening and night shifts to minimise traffic disruption. As part of the commissioning process, every aspect of the new infrastructure will be thoroughly tested to ensure it meets the required safety standards.
Please note, this is not a public event. There will be no access for the public onto or near the tram but please exercise caution if you are in the vicinity. A controlled zone will be managed around the tram by traffic marshals and staff will be carrying out specialised tasks. The results of this phase of testing will then be analysed to ensure the tram is operating as expected.
Rolling traffic management will be in place. Please visit Lothian’s website for details of the temporary diversion.
Testing will continue throughout the course of the week.
Further information on subsequent phases of testing and commissioning will be issued in due course.
