    With testing due to being this month of the new trams on the new tracks, I'm assuming the new longer units have either arrived or will very soon be. Anyone know when? And photos of the finished product yet?

    They won't need to test the new units really outside your standard commissioning.

    They are the exact same as the existing ones just an extra middle section.

    what is the testing scheme for a new Citadis? In Toronto the new trams have to go 600km without a failure (start again if there is one) before being accepted for service.

    Not the finished ones, but Luas did stick up photos of trams being built.

    They are testing the line this Saturday but will be using trams from the Red line according to this article. Might be worth seeing if you were going to be around the area of any part of the line.

    No idea to be honest, the new trams arrive in October, not sure if all arrive together or not.
