Stadler 2556 returns to service

For the first time London Tramlink can now call upon all ten of the Stadler built Variobahns for service following the return to the operating pool of 2556. Of course 2556 has been out of service since summer 2015 after an incident which saw the pantograph ripped off causing damage to its roof with the tram even spending over four months back in Germany for repairs. The tram was returned to Croydon on 24th January 2016 and after testing has now been able to return to service with it first noted running on line 1 on Saturday 16th April.
