West Midlands Metro Urbos100 41<\/strong> is now back in service having spent the past couple of months off the road. Although most of our attention has been turned towards the Urbos3 trams which have been undergoing repairs and the newer Urbos100s as they make their first forays out onto the mainline there have also been a few other absentees from service recently and this has been one of them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

41<\/strong> has been out of service for at least two months with it stored in the depot complex awaiting attention to fix an undisclosed fault. At the start of April it was spotted back outside the depot having been readied for service and was believed to be on standby in case it was needed on several occasions. It was finally allocated to service on Sunday 9th<\/sup> April \u2013 and this is thought to be its first use since repaired.<\/p>\n

Of the Urbso100s, 42<\/strong> remains sidelined whilst both 51<\/strong> and 53<\/strong> have yet to enter service following their delivery although as we\u2019ve seen recently 53<\/strong> has been in use on daytime driver training.<\/p>\n
