After repairs it returned to service in October 2008. Whereas <strong>09<\/strong> featured the two undamaged sections, <strong>10<\/strong> now consisted of the two damaged ends of the tram and with the Network West Midlands livery in place it would remain operational until July 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Following withdrawal <strong>10<\/strong> was kept at Wednesbury Depot until 24<sup>th<\/sup> March 2016 when it left on an Allely\u2019s low loader for Long Marston.
