West Midlands Metro Urbos100 52 is running in standard fleet livery again after its long-standing advert for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra was removed.
52 had been carrying this advert since July 2025, but now a few weeks after the CBSO’s conductor performer on a tram the partnership between the two organisations seems to have taken a change of direction with the vinyls removed.
This was the second advert that the CSBO have had on West Midlands Metro. 45 carried a yellow based design from April 2023 to May 2025 before there was a two month gap until 52 received a black based design in July 2025.
This has been the only time that 52 has carried an advert.
52 gets ready to depart from Wolverhampton St George’s with it being back in fleet livery again. (Photograph by Shiv Patel, 18th September 2026)
