Sumario:The transfer lines for both rings of the LHC were successfully re-commissioned with beam in preparation for the start-up of Run 2. This paper presents an overview of the transfer line and sector tests performed to bring the LHC back into operation after a two-year period of shutdown for consolidation and upgrade. The tests enabled the debugging of critical software and hardware systems and validated changes made to the transfer and injection systems. The beam-based measurements carried out to validate the optics and machine configuration are summarised along with the performance of the hardware systems.
