Notes:
36 Citylink Tram-Train vehicles are on order for Transport for Wales, to initially be used on services on the Rhondda, Merthyr and Cardiff City lines, and the Cardiff Bay branch. In the future (from 2028 at the earliest) they would be used on the Cardiff Crossrail service which will see a tram service return to Cardiff. They are fitted with both overhead electric power and batteries. They have recently started testing with introduction into service expected from late 2025.
Currently 398 015, 398 019, 398 024 and 398 025 are at Old Dalby. The remainder of those shown as delivered above are at Taff's Well Depot.
