First Day of Flexity 2 Service

Flexities 010 and 004 pass at North Pier in the afternoon

Besides the rather unfortunate derailment of 006 in Fleetwood on the first timetabled journey, the rest of the day was fairly incident free, although it wasn't unusual to see 45 minute headways at times, instead of the advertised 20 minute service, and sometimes bunching occurred, where two trams passed by in close succession. The Flexities in passenger service at various times during the first day were 001, 004 and 006-011, 002 being restricted to driver training duties for the day.
