This was the culmination of months and years of work with significant sections of track doubled and the recent project to create a second platform at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The first day was not without its problems but in the main scheme of things the issues recorded were not particularly major. On some occasions at Wimbledon the driver had to change the points manually and several trams were noted as arriving with \u201cOut of Service\u201d as their destination and \u201cSee Tram Front\u201d on the Passenger Information Display. There was also some service bunching noting with at one time two trams waiting between Dundonald Road and the single line section to access the new layout at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p>* A full gallery of images from this first day of the new service will follow on <em>British Trams Online<\/em> in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14303\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=14303\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14303\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14303\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14303\" title=\"1.2538-ic\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1.2538-ic-550x342.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1.2538-ic-550x342.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1.2538-ic-1024x638.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1.2538-ic.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14303\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2538 arrives at Wimbledon passing another tram in platform 10a.
