17 was Delivered  back in 11th October 2013 i remember being there in the rain has passed into the depot all wrapped up in white sheeting.

It was not until early 2014 that it made a few test runs on the mainline (only very few in day light hours)  with the arrival of a few more  urbos 3s  17 was confined to the depot has a static test bed
but did make a few more mainline runs again during daylight hours in the summer of 2014
you had to be out on the right day to see it , this gain was just for a few days testing only ( I have photos some were )

Monday June 6th 2016 was 17s first run into Grand central and has since then been running on its fault free mileage  accumulation testing Monday /Friday .

Over the weekend 17 was parked in front of T69 16 ,    Today it was out running again back in the depot at 13.10

Centro has a report saying tram 17 was delivered October 2013.

[MetroT69]

( my Fault )    YES Correct ,11th October 2013  Around 10.30am  and it was a right game to get it off the two Trailers !
It took most of the day  has a large metal shed had to be demolished first has there was not enough room .





Tram 17 has passed its mileage accumulation this Tuesday 28th  and will be given a full  inspection exam  , if fit and well  it will be signed off to run in passenger service soon  .     8)

what is endurance testing?  has tram 17 been fitted with the batteries

No.  Endurance testing is mileage accumulation.  Each tram must complete a certain threshold of fault-free miles before it is accepted for passenger service, and at the same triggering a stage payment to the manufacturer.

Tram now in passenger service. Out today
