Are the four latest trams identical to the previous six?


In principle, although I saw a claim (here? Twitter? somewhere
else....?) suggesting that the first of the second batch turned out not
to be the same, which has caused issues.

How many have arrived now? I heard one was here, but not the rest.


Number 2560 is in passenger service (I saw it on 11 November and was
told that it had entered service on 6 November). It arrived here in
May, I believe.

I saw one in service today at the top of Church Street. Saw one a few days ago, but not sure if it was in service then. Had a sort of LT roundel wrapping paper style livery, with a notice saying that it was one of the new trams, a bit like the 'wrapped up' new Overground vehicles. Both times I thought they looked slightly different to the previous six, but I couldn't make out how, and I've never seen examples of the two batches side by side to compare.
