Tram no. 09 is approaching the St. Georges stop which is currently the Wolverhampton terminus. It is in the new livery of "magenta and silver". To many people the "magenta" looks more like pink. There are sixteen of these trams but at least two are mothballed and used as a source of parts to keep the others running. These Ansaldo trams were built in Italy and there have been reliability problems. They are being replaced shortly by the new CAF Urbos 3 trams built in Spain. There will initially, at least, be twenty of these. It isn't clear at present whether any of the Ansaldo trams will be retained.
