CR4000 2546 has special titles added to celebrate 15 years of Tramlink. It remains in the standard livery but carries titles saying how many passengers are estimated to use tramlink, how many used in in 2000/01 and 2014/15. I saw it today at East Croydon and pictures of it can be found at the link below: www.britishtramsonline.co.uk/news/?p=11184

2553 has had a refurb and looks really smart. I'm not sure whether any others have been done but I'd guess once the new Vairobahns enter service, refurbishment will start rolling out to all CR4000's

I went on it today, and they have done a good job repairing it, but it would be good if they fitted some additional PIS's to where the "Tram Stopping" light used to be More pictures: www.britishtramsonline.co.uk/news/?p=11373

King Henry's Drive tram stop seems to have gained train station style countdown displays which look very odd

King Henry's Drive tram stop seems to have gained train station style countdown displays which look very odd That's starting to become the norm and I think it will be around the whole network when the Wimbledon line becomes Beckenham Junction or Dingwall Road tram stop becomes a thing. The 2 new platforms on Wimbledon have them as well as the northbound platform at Dundonald Road.

I've not been up to Wimbledon since well before the new platform was built but if it has the "new" display as well as Dundonald Road, then you're probably right about it becoming the norm. One thing that comes to mind is "if it's not broke, don't fix it"

One thing that comes to mind is "if it's not broke, don't fix it" True, but if my memory serves me right the new display has 3 instead of 2 destination meaning more information there this because the frequency of trams will increase so this will show more trams on the screen due to more of them except for that I see no other reason unless if the old one wasn't working?
