It all started off in September 2017 when it spent six months at Wolverton Works for repair work to damage sustained in a derailment at the depot which saw it out of service for two years. Then following the discovery of the bodyside cracks it would head to Dudley for more repair work (28<sup>th<\/sup> October 2022 until 24<sup>th<\/sup> January 2023). Then on 17th August 2023 it would head off to its third location when it went to Worksop (for the first time!) for storage with it coming back on 9th February 2024. Its return to Wednesbury wouldn&#8217;t last long though as less than two months later and its off to Worksop again!<\/p>\n<p>Reid\u2019s Freight were again contracted to complete the move with the tram being loaded within the confines of the depot ahead of departure to the Harry Needle owned facility in the Nottinghamshire town.<\/p>\n<p>Its likely that <strong>26<\/strong> heading off to Worksop will mean one will come back in the opposite direction.
