Was on a diverted Crosscountry service from Sheffield yesterday evening (the train in front had broken down apparently), after a day chasing the XC HSTs, and the routing took me past the Sheffield Supertram Nunnery depot. Wasn't paying a great deal of attention to the depot, until I caught sight of one of the Supertrams STILL IN ORIGINAL GREY LIVERY.

Does anybody know which tram this is, and why it is still in grey livery? I was under the impression they had all been reliveried into Stagecoach colours.

I have included a photo, admittedly not great quality, as it took me a while to grab my camera as we passed, which shows the grey liveried unit as the second tram in the line of trams nearest the running line, just to prove that I wasn't seeing things!

Any ideas anyone?

More likely is that it is in an advertising scheme as the original livery was replaced by Stagecoach white with orange, red and blue stripes at the bottom (similar to the original SWT livery) before the current Red, blue and orange version.
