Since their introduction into service the Citylink tram-trains now operating on the conventional Stagecoach Supertram network have been mainly confined to the Purple route \u2013 aside from a few \u201cservice extras\u201d \u2013 but that has now changed as from Thursday 9th November they have been seen running on both the Blue and Yellow routes.<\/p>\n

The first day of their diagramming on these routes occurred on Thursday 9th November with 399 203<\/strong> flying the flag on the Blue route alongside an unidentified vehicle on the Yellow route. This was followed on 10th November when 399 206<\/strong> was used on the Blue route and 399 207<\/strong> on the Yellow. 399 201 finally made its Yellow route debut on 11th November; this was thought to be its most extensive usage yet having only been used for the odd journey on the Purple route previously.<\/p>\n

Also of note that the onboard announcements on the Citylinks are slightly altered to those heard on the other trams. Two examples being University & West End Hospitals and Shalesmoor & Kelham Island.<\/p>\n
