I never expected to see any trams at the greatest gathering, but after reading that NET tram 207 would be an exhibit, it made me wonder what other Trams/ LRVs could potentially pop up at the event. Are there any that could be considered likely, modern or heritage?

Are there any trams anyone here would like to see announced for the event? It's all very exciting!

NET tram 207 is only there as it is at Alstom Derby for repair following a collision at Royal Centre a few months back.

As its there, why not display it!

A collision damaged tram wouldn't be a good look and given the temporary timetable reduction due to rolling stock shortages I imagine once repaired it'll be needed back in service as soon as possible!

It will be I'm sure but it only went a couple of weeks ago and will need a few months for repair. The damage is structural not aesthetic but I'm not sure the actual state its in.

It would show how accident damaged stock is repaired

Some pictures attached of NET 207 and the state its in, with the front section stripped for repairs.
