West Midlands Metro are now the proud owners of four battery fitted trams following the return to service of 21 for the first time since it underwent the installation at Wednesbury Depot. The tram retains the old Magenta based Network West Midlands livery – including the old logo on the ends of the vehicle. The other three battery fitted trams are 18, 31 and 36. Mark Cufflin provides us with the photo.

Tram 21 “was out before the 4th!
18 has also returned back in service a few weeks ago after fitting of new batteries.
