However, on 12 July, it will be tested for the first time.

The trial journey starts at the depot over avenue John F. Kennedy between 9 and 10 a.m. The managing director of Luxtram, André Von Der Marck, said that no passengers would be on board.

This first trip will only go at a very slow pace to check that there are no obstacles.

If everything goes smoothly, training of tram drivers is scheduled for September. In November, LuxTram will launch another phase in which the tram runs under normal conditions, but without passengers.

From 10 December onwards, the tram will be open to public and run from LuxExpo to the Pfaffenthal funicular.
