If the Meadowhall advert is not due for expiry it is likely that the tram refreshed before 116 will receive the advert to maintain continuity, 116 would then emerge in fleet livery.

Did not realise they were such low in numbers regarding the old Supertram livery.
From past experience the Meadowhall Adverts are always re applied around July each year as this as been the case for the past 3 years, so maybe this is when 116 will undergo the refresh scheme, maybe after 102 as come out of the sheds.

113 was reported back in service on 15th May, with 102 replacing it in workshops.
Tonight I have seen 113 looking immaculate running "Not In Service" through Valley towards Meadowhall, and 102 looking a bit grubby in Nunnery Yard, neither of which were carrying side adverts.
Did 113 get taken back out of service again? (as SWFC has mentioned it had floor problems).
In Meadowhall end of shed was 109. Has this gone in for refresh now?

If 102 is in middle of refreshment programme it would most likely have had all window stickers pealed off wouldnt it, or had them applied after painting and refreshments.

nah the window stickers are stayed on when they are refreshed. I wish I could answer your question, but I am off for 2 weeks (Annual Holiday Leave).
When I am back Monday, will try and find out the situation.

The old window stickers were peeled off all of the trams, so it could be that they have not got round to replacing them with the new stickers on 113 or 102.
I asked the driver I was working with yesterday and neither of us can think that 113 was taken out of service again, it has definately been out in service for well over a month as I remember working on it the first few days it was back out and smwelling the newness smell and hearing a squeaking noise in parts of tram when you are walking up and down. The smell died down but the squeaking hasnt seemed to.
If it was out of service it could have been used as a step up tram or it may have developed a fault earlier in the day when in service and was out on a test run after the maintenance guys had looked at it.
There did seem to be one of the old liveried trams in the shed last night that looked like it may have been getting refurbished but didnt see the number as was not close enough. If my break is at depot today, will try and remember to have a look.

Your assumption about 109 being refreshed was correct, they are currently removing all the old seating.

Another one bites the dust! it will be a shame to see the old Stagecoach Livery dissapear for good, the Trams must surely be the last vehicles still in service with Stagecoach to wear this livery. Still prefer it to Beachball livery, but it is not half as good as the new Supertram livery  . I have bets down that 116 will be the last one to be refreshed . |

It might get refreshed into a new meadowhall livery as I cannot see meadowhall giving up on a large travelling advert. This is just my opinion, not fact. |

I think it might be another tram, one thats already refurbished. For example tram 116 to be the last one done and not in Meadowhall Livery and then an existing refurbished one done in a new Meadowhall Livery-that just my opinion based on past.

I think this is the right place to post this, I didn’t want to start a new thread. I noticed there are new signs on some refurbished trams, next to the tip up side seats. The Signs say:- Please steady yourself using the Seat back handle before OPERATING these seats. The problem is, we don’t have a Seat back Handle! I am waiting for someone to fall over, because they are trying to pull the back of the seat down!! We do have an handle at the back of the seats it is the big yellow bar thing that is in the place of where an headrest could be. |
