Looking along the stabling sidings with two Class 398 tram-trains present. Electification of these sidings is underway; it seems that a contact bar is to be provided here instead of a contact wire, with alternate sections already in place. Crossing the tracks in the foreground is a girder for signals; this would be lifted into place, spanning the tracks, over the next few days.
