A contrast between a twenty year old 1000 series tram and its 3000 series successor at Timperley in March 2012. Under an original pre-war gantry 3002 runs in on an Altrincham bound service while 1022 heads for Piccadilly. Some of the 10xx trams are to be withdrawn as a source of spares to keep sister units running as they are proving somewhat troublesome in later life.
