I got told that tram 21 was in service earlier this week.

Not sure if true. Don't recall seeing that one for a while

I was at West Bromwich Wed & 08,18 & 20-27 were all seen in service.

I'm guessing you have actually ridden on tram 17 then??

uniquicity · March 21, 2015, 01:48:54 AM

Need that too. That one is definitely a long term absentee

Stevo · March 22, 2015, 11:13:43 AM

Of course there are only 20 new trams: 17-36. Has anyone seen 33, 35 or 36?

A recent report on British Trams states there will be tram no.37 making 21 new trams. This confirms what Midland Metro staff told me last April when a new tram was first shown to the public at Snow Hill.

A little bird told me that New tram 17 had its windscreen fall out apparently, fortunately while on test! and currently being 'cannibalised'...So maybe the 37th tram will be a replacement...? unless you know different?...

Think I read somewhere some time ago that Centro had obtained additional funding to purchase an additional vehicle over and above the original order for 20.
