Below: An unusual site for a winter Monday is to see a large proportion of the tram and bus fleet outside. Basking in the sun on what is an otherwise icy and frozen site are Sunderland 16 and Leeds 6…

Below: The reason for this temporary exile of the fleet can be seen here, as Darren and Mark have moved the Depot Road 4 project indoors and are rapidly removing the concrete sections required to enable a new concrete base and then rails to be laid within the existing floor. This phase should be completed today enabling concrete to be poured over the next few days. Once set the rails will be laid, secured and bonded before this is then backfilled and concreted to restore the smooth surface, complete with a new and usable depot track within it.
