摘要

Manchester Metrolink tram No. 1011 was withdrawn from service on April 19 - believed to be the first of Britain's second generation trams to be retired. It is one of a dozen T68 trams earmarked for early withdrawal, as Metrolink seeks to improve reliability by replacing them with new Bombardier M5000 vehicles.No. 1011 was built by Italian firm Ansaldo and entered service on April 6,1992 - the day Metrolink opened to the public.
