Rather than the majority of the tram being wrapped, this sees just the centre three sections of the tram having adverts. The second of these designs is for Business Growth West Midlands on 43 and it includes a two sided advert (one purple and one orange). This photo shows the purple side as the tram calls at Brindleyplace with a service through to Edgbaston Village.
