Quote:West Midlands Metro (WMM) said permanent repairs were needed and it would take its fleet of 21 trams out of service. It said: “The safety of our customers and colleagues is our priority and this will never be compromised.”
WMM said the decision to suspend services had not been taken lightly and apologised for any inconvenience. It has not given a date for when services will resume but work to repair the trams is expected to take at least four weeks.
Have all of the Ion units had their warranty work finished?
Sydney Australia as well: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/mi...e-22168033
As for our work, it's being done bit by bit. Hopefully our trains don't deteriorate like the ones in the UK and Australia. Though different manufacturers, it seems to be similar problems. Though in our case it's a welding defect, in the UK and Australia, it seems to be substandard material being used.
Stuff like this doesn't give people a lot of faith in this type of mass transportation. Seems everyone LRT's are having serious issues.
