At present the Metro closes at 1.40am on Fridays and Saturdays and 12.40am on week nights, and only runs later on special occasions such as New Year's Eve.
The trial will involve Metro lines 1, 2, 5, 6, 9 and 14 and tram lines 2, 3a and 3b.
On one Saturday a month, the Metro will be open from 5.30am on Saturday until 12.30am on Monday.
The days selected for the trial are; September 14, October 12, November 9, Tuesday, December 31, January 11, February 8 and March 7.
