Sheffield Supertram : Pictures : new Stagecoach Supertram livery

The first refurbished Supertram vehicle was unveiled to press and invited guests on 27^th January 2006. 115 was the first tram to carry the new Stagecoach Supertram livery and revised fleetnames, as well as having been refurbished internally and mechanically.

I was kindly given access to the depot to take some photos; there are also some taken the same day in the city centre while the tram was on a special trip conveying the invited guests to Middlewood.

Assorted press people and dignatories assemble outside Nunnery depot for the unveiling of the refurbished tram
