Although we don\u2019t know for certain (and the advert was definitely still in place in March 2022) we\u2019d hazard a guess that the advert was removed around July 2022 (giving it a one year contract) \u2013 but that really is a guess.<\/p>\n<p>With <strong>2531<\/strong> now in fleet livery the only tram on Tramlink not to be running with the standard fleet livery is <strong>2554<\/strong> which is in its very long standing \u201cLove Croydon\u201d promotional livery. This has now been in place for over 10 years having been originally added to the tram in June 2012, making it be far the longest modern tram advert livery in the UK.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48494\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=48494\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-48494\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48494\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-48494\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2531-ts-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2531-ts-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2531-ts-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2531-ts-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2531-ts.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-48494\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2531 and its fleet livery is spotted here as it drops down the slope from Norwood South Park and nears Arena with a service to Therapia Lane.
