Personally for me its 1001, being the first tram on the city streets with the SPV. 1006 and 1010 definetly withdrawn.

Hey all, Here is a thread to keep on top of the T68’s. Mainly for the withdrawals but im sure anything else T68 related can come under this…. Just for starters on the withdrawn and soon to be withdrawn trams, already withdrawn are 1001, 1004, 1005, 1008, 1011 and 1018. There are rumors...
