Amazing video, I’m actually making a book on several tram systems and I’m using 3 photos of T69s, and a couple of Urbos 3s, i thought I would come and learn a bit more information. 😊
The fact that number 11 didn’t actually get preserved and got scrapped is absurd I doubt that the other 3 will be preserved either but I really hope they do
I've seen worse, unfortunately. At traffic lights, the tram had a 'go' signal and the driver sounded the bell - but pedestrians continued to cross and one of them stood in front of the tram to block it.
Is this when Birmingham first had it’s very own tram system. Just like other cities and towns including Manchester, Blackpool, Sheffield, Nottingham, Edinburgh and of course Croydon in South London.
This dates from the start of the Midland Metro in 1999 - one of the 'second generation' tramways along with the other places you named (altho' Blackpool is a special case as its first generation system never fully closed)
It is possible that the colour has not been reproduced properly by my cameras, I also had this problem when filming the purple First Group StreetCar bendy buses.
What an absolute bag of Spanish crap, broken again. This is the third time in 12 months a complete suspension of metro services to because of cracks in the "new" trams.

Aww I miss these. I remember seeing these when I lived in Birmingham. Their seats were amazing.

Personally, the T69's are very nice looking trams and very unique. Even though I never got to go on one.
They're nice trams with better seats compared to CAFs today
genuinely brought a tear to my eye. i really want to see them again.
I remember these trams perfectly, the interior was nice
Great video !
Thanks for sharing

The T69’s sound similar to the T68A’s which ran on the Manchester Metrolink. Btw are these trams in the same family?
Same manufacturer, and I’m assuming same/similar traction motors?
10:55 anyone notice the kid who flipped of the tram driver? Kids these days...

3:45 Is that National Express moquette? I've seen it on NXEA (unrefurbished Greater Anglia) class 379 and class 321 trains
Sorry but I do not know.
Yes! It is used on National Express buses, mostly the E400. There is also a revised version where the dots are red and bigger.
Great video.☺️
Thank you!
@@CitytransportInfoplus Ur welcome. ☺️

@@CitytransportInfoplus Ah right. Thanks :)
These sound simular to the t68a
I always thought the centre of the tram looked purple, not blue

@@CitytransportInfoplus No no its not your cameras, they looked like that in real life too, it's the shade of the colour I think.
I prefer the new announcements and maybe new trams because the old ones being so annoying and kept on being repeptive

I hear your cries of woe. I am surprised at the situation, it is 'extremely bad'
