This is quite a short video I've filmed on a VERY cold morning, but for good reason! On the evening of the 18th November 2019, Stadler Citylink "Tram Train" 399 204, or just 204, has finally returned back to the UK and to it's depot here in Sheffield. This means that for the first time since late 2018, all of Supertram's 32 vehicles, 25 trams and 7 tram trains, are finally all back where they belong.
For the past year, 2 coaches of 204 that were damaged in the crash on the Tram Train's opening day, and one coach from 202, which also crashed in the same location on Staniforth Road a few months later, have been on "holiday" in Valencia, Spain, so that they could be repaired. This was due to the work needed being too extensive to be fixed at the Nunnery depot. The remaining 3 coaches from both that weren't as severely damaged, have since been operating as a new 202, despite containing a coach from the old 204, on the Tram Train route, while 206 has also been converted to run to Rotherham to cover for the missing Tram Train.
As of the date this video was uploaded, the Citylink fleet has now gone back up from 6 to the 7 that we originally had, and hopefully we won't encounter another incident like the two we had last year again.
