I have twice recently seen one on the Bury line so there has clearly been an influx of a few more of these new trams.

Not sure what number they are upto but it won't make any difference as only 3001-3013 (3013 was fitted with the signalling system from other broken units as both 3001 & 3002 are off with long term repair jobs) can run on the current network until the signalling works due to be completed in the spring.
That will happen about same time as the extensions to St. Werburgh's Road and Central Park open.

3001 was hit by a HGV in Salford and has been sent back to the factory in Vienna to be repaired because of heavy structural damage, 3002 reversed after only the first bogey had cleared a set of spring loaded points, straddled two tracks and hit a central OHLE support column at low speed, point of collision was at base of the doors so it only did damage to the interior flooring (a support column shaped dent and some compression damage). 3005 I think (cant remember which) was out of service for a couple of weeks after being hit by another HGV. Also been a few more minor prangs with cars which havent caused any damage. If its only bodywork damage they can fix it without sending it away.
