Notes: On departure from Wednesbury Depot all trams were transported to Long Marston for storage. Those which were scrapped were sold at e-auction in early 2018 before they were move to Booths, Rotherham from April 2018 for scrapping. 09 and 10 both suffered accident damage in a collision in December 2016. After repairs the trams returned to service in mixed formation and ended their operating career in that condition. 10 was repainted into a purple and white livery at Long Marston when it was used for a Police exercise at Rail Live in 2022. 11 had been secured for preservation by Birmingham Museums and was expected to be moved for display. However, in July 2022 it was removed from Long Marston and sent to Sims Metals, Newport for scrapping. 16 was transported from Long Marston to the Very Light Rail Innovation Centre at Dudley on 24th November 2023 where it will be used as a test tram. |
