Midland Metro Ansaldo Breda tram interior
Photographed at the terminus at Snow Hill Railway Station, a few weeks after the light rail line opened in 1999. These trams are quite short for modern vehicles and only seat 56 passengers, although far more standees can be accommodated. Because of budget constraints, longer trams could not be ordered. Only the middle part of these sixteen vehicles is low floor, and the other sections are reached by steps. Part of a set of these can be seen in the left foreground. The operators have long wished to get rid of these vehicles, which are too small and have had a lot of technical problems. Now it seems there may be funding available to make this happen, and if so up to 25 longer vehicles will be ordered. SO9397 : Midland Metro tram 15 in Bilston Road, turning right.
