The second half of Midland Metro’s Urbos 3 26 departed Wednesbury Depot for Wolverton Works on Thursday 21st September where it will be reunited with its other half for repair work to take place. The tram had derailed at the depot back in the summer with the damage severe enough to require it to be sent away for repairs.
The first half of the tram had left on Wednesday 20th September with this second half following at approximately 1145 on Thursday 21st September. No timescale is known for how long it will take to repair the damage.
