Title: New livery and branding
Post by: RW on July 05, 2018, 06:55:07 PM
Is anyone aware of the likely timescale for trams to start appearing in the new blue livery and new branding? Presumably the work will be done in- house.

They may wait and repaint each tram when having batteries fitted.

Didn't 18 have batteries before it changed hands though?

Tram 18 spent 12 weeks  having the batteries fitted. The aim is that over the next few weeks there is to be a consistent run of trams being vinyled into the blue livery.

How will they get round the named trams as the old t69s had proper name plates while new newer trams have stickers.

How long did it take todo tram 31 into blue as couldn't they do it on Sunday as they use about 7/8 trams so could do a few on Sunday if they are vinyl wraps

Tram 21's blue wrap has come off on one of its headlights, revealing the pink underneath. Looks even worse than it normally does with that awful advertising on the sides.
