Gareth - 3rd October 2026
Trams pass in front of the headquarters of the 7th Nottingham Scout Group at the Forest Recreation Ground on 14th September 2026. 205 - which carries an advert for Sky Broadband - heads away from us with a service to Toton Lane as coming the other way is 235 which is off to Phoenix Park.
This week photos come from Nottingham Express Transit. Taken over four days in mid-September we see many of the trams in the fleet - both Incentro and Citadis varieties - operating at various locations across the network.
This week there are updates this week to the Beamish Tramway (photo links),Blackpool Tramway (trams back into service and photo links), East Anglia Transport Museum (Blackpool 159 back in service and photo links), Edinburgh Trams (photo links), Manchester Metrolink (revised advert), Nottingham Express Transit (photo links) and West Midlands Metro (new advert) Fleet Lists. There are also updates to the Edinburgh Trams (photo links), Manchester Metrolink (revised advert) and West Midlands Metro (new advert) Advert Lists.
We have just seen the annual release of DfT statistics on English tram systems which have provided a mixed picture of passenger numbers. The DLR (which does remain by the far the busiest system) has seen a big decrease with a reduced service running because of the continued delay of new trains entering service but for Blackpool, Manchester and the West Midlands Metro its a far rosier picture. We have also seen the return to service of two trams - both in green and cream and both of 26th September! - Blackpool 012 debuted in its new vinyl wrap whilst over on the East Anglia Transport Museum we saw the return to action of Blackpool 159 with a fresh coat of paint. And in Edinburgh we have featured photos of 251 in an all new advertising wrap.
