Information is believed correct up to and including Friday 31st December 2021. This list is intended to just show those trams which have run in some form of passenger service so far during 2021 (and thus does not include those on test/driver training but does include TDEs) and is as accurate as possible, although errors may have occurred. Various online sources have been used to collate this information.
We’ll be back with “They’ve Run in 2022” in the Spring!
