Like all of these trams it has undergone two mid-life refurbishments but when captured on camera on 11th March 2010 it was still in the original fleet livery which tells us that it hadn\u2019t yet received that work. The tram is seen here approaching Basford with a service to Phoenix Park \u2013 at this time it would have come from the original Station Street terminus.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_61481\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1b.202-gp.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61481\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-61481\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1b.202-gp-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1b.202-gp-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1b.202-gp-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1b.202-gp.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-61481\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">15 years later and 202 has now been through the two refurbishments as mentioned above, but is no longer to be found in fleet livery. When seen on 12th September 2025 it was carrying an advertising wrap for Oxford Business College. This ad was applied in November 2024 and was its second wrap, following on from one for the Consent Coalition between March 2022 and October 2024.
