Tram 22 is seen between Wednesbury Gt Western St and Hill Top tunnel in this shot which was taken around 16:10 on Saturday 20th August 2022. This was one of eight Urbos 3 trams which had returned to service after repairs to cracks that had taken the entire fleet out of service from 19th March to 9th June - resulting in no Metro service at all between those dates. The service restart was contingent on getting all eight of the later Urbos 100 trams (38-45) into service, with the returning Urbos 3s supplementing them over subsequent months as they became available after repair. By the time this shot was taken the following trams had been repaired and cleared for use: 18 19 21 22 31 34 36 and 37. All of these bar 37 had unvinyled white replacement panels around the doors.
