One of Edinburgh's new trams has completed the first test run along the city's most famous shopping street. Tram 264 made the journey on Princes Street late on Wednesday night, flanked by teams of engineers. It travelled from the tram depot at Gogar on Edinburgh's western outskirts to York Place in the city's east end. The tram crew and engineers completed the necessary track tests ahead of schedule, returning to the depot in the early hours of the morning.
