20 Photos of... Midland Metro T69s

This latest retrospective gallery heads to the Midland Metro as we feature some of the original T69 trams - which may now be long gone but are certainly not forgotten by enthusiasts.

It was August 2015 that the last of the 16 strong class ran in service when 16 was officially withdrawn but the withdrawals had actually started back in the autumn of 2006 when 01 was the first to taken out of use. From 2014 onwards the Italian built trams started to move away for storage (Long Marston) and for the majority they would all eventually then be sold for scrap. There do remain survivors to this day though - including 16 which is now at the Very Light Rail Innovation Centre in Dudley to be used for testing purposes.

In this collection we include photos of 15 of the trams between 2005 and 2014 with three different liveries also featuring - the original fleet livery, the Network West Midlands silver and magenta and also the special Birmingham Corporation livery carried on 11.

Photographer: Gareth Prior
Photographs were taken between Friday 10th June 2005 and Monday 22nd September 2014.
