I unexpectedly saw a West Midlands Metro tram with purple Resorts World Birmingham adverts on Corporation Street in the morning. At lunchtime on Friday 28th February 2020, saw it again and it was tram 24. It is also for Birmingham International Station and probably The NEC Birmingham. Seen heading between Corporation Street and Bull Street tram stops. Seen passing Martineau Place.

At the time that tram 24 was departing, they were still dismantling Ice Skate Birmingham on the Reflective Pool (the water jets are now back on). See my latest Centenary Square post here Centenary Square lit up after dark with the Water Jet fountains.

Seen at Grand Central Tram Stop on Friday 21st February 2020 was West Midlands Metro trams 24 and 27. Both with OLA adverts, I think the first time I got both in one photo. At the time the batteries on tram 24 was still externally white.

On Friday 28th February 2020, seen in the rain on Corporation Street, tram 24 again, but this time in brand new Resorts World purple adverts. Also featuring Birmingham International Station. Possibly also The NEC. I let the tram pass me before I took this photo in the rain. Going past Martineau Place. I also saw it unexpectedly in the morning (on Corporation Street) but couldn't see the tram number.
