Not previously illustrated or even mentioned on these pages has been the return of Stagecoach Supertram\u2019s 116<\/strong> to fleet livery following the removal of its adverts for XPO Logistics. Since the vinyls were taken off it seems the tram has been mainly confined to depot but that wasn\u2019t the case on 6th<\/sup> December 2022 when it was out on driver training. Photographs from Ryan Hartley.<\/p>\n

116<\/strong> had originally received the mainly white advert for XPO Logistics in April 2019.

The advertising vinyls started to be removed during October 2022 and the tram had been seen around the depot during the removal which seemed to be a protracted affair but has now clearly now been finished.<\/p>\n
