However in between being delivered and entering service it had derailed at Victoria (March 1992 \u2013 only minor damage) but then settled into the standard operating pattern. A trip to Wolverton Works followed in November\/December 2004 for refurbishment works and then in February 2007 there was another derailment, this time at Queens Road Depot but again only suffered minor damage. The tram was withdrawn from service on 2nd December 2013 and then went to Rotherham for scrapping the following September.<\/p>\n<p>Two views are shown here of <strong>1013<\/strong> on the first day of cross city operation \u2013 27th April 1992.
