The Z1/2 were based on the M28 - all of which are withdrawn.

The information provided from Sweden was out of date and incomplete
resulting in major re-design being required by Com Eng.

They were built between 1975 and 1979 and refurbished 20 years later
between 1995 and 1999.

They are electrically and mechanically completely different to the Z3 trams.

The last was withdrawn in 2016 after around 40 years of service. (pic

Mal Rowe who reckons the more recent refurbishment of the later Z3s
could have been limited to fewer trams.
