Having now exhausted those trams which still carry the number 20 we now start to get a little more creative for “The Number 20”, although its not taken mush thought this time around! The next tram we take a look at is Stagecoach Supertram 120.
Tram: Stagecoach Supertram 120
Built: 1994
Qualification for series: The 20th tram built for the Supertram network and it used to carry the number 20 before Stagecoach’s takeover.
There was really only going to be one phase of its life that we’d include for a photo of 120 wasn’t there? Yes its time in the Sheffield Corporation Tramways inspired white and blue livery. Originally applied in 2010 as a “short-term” measure its stayed on the tram for over 12 years and even survived the tram being reformed with part of 118 after the two collided at Shalesmoor in 2015. We show the tram on Middlewood Road in Hillsborough on 10th September 2021 with it working on the Yellow route heading to Meadowhall. (Photograph by Gareth Prior)
That livery suits the tam well – better than the fussy and chaotic Stagecoach livery most of the others carry.
