Alstom Transport UK managing director Terence Watson said: "Everyone can now see and enjoy the benefits of the expanded network."

The Alstom and Taylor Woodrow JV built all associated infrastructure for the project, including overhead wires, track and signalling.

In addition, Alstom delivered 22 Citadis trams to the city which now form part of the 37-strong tram fleet serving the city, as well as offer maintenance to all of the vehicles.
