The older trams will all eventually be replaced by newer ones, I think it would be very difficult logistically to replace them all in one go, so of course as new ones arrive and enter service, the older type will be gradually withdrawn. I'm sure that's what I read elsewhere, with the older trams being sold off to other operators, possibly in Europe.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Read somewhere the older ones were being kept for the potential new Wednesbury to Merry Hill line.

By the time that's built the old trams will have rusted away into dust!

And merry Hill will have closed, everyone will be doing every bit of shopping online and gets it all zapped to them... etc etc...
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....
