They'll have been removed.

Name plates have been scattered far and wide ,  most were given to family's associated with the names  although i think only one plate not both . sir frank has gone to a local air force museum  again only one name plate ,  many are still at the depot in the store room they are the property of Centro NOT metro.

Hopefully there will some if not all on show at the open day in a few weeks time .  you may see tram 16 with his plates back on again
for the day .    Ive made a suggestion that it would be good to line up old 16 and new 17 & 37  to let folks get  photoS of all three
would make a once in a lifetime opportunity shot :D

Night time testing has been taking place in the early hours of late Mon/tues down to grand central  BUT

If you're re about in brum tomorrow Daytime  you may see the start of Driver training down to Birmingham Grand central .

;) ;)
