A multi-million pound plan to spruce up Nottingham's trams is underway.
Fifteen trams from the original fleet of 2014 are set to benefit from a £3.5m refurbishment.
The new look Incentro trams are set be unveiled by the Sheriff of Nottingham, Councillor Catharine Arnold, on Friday, May 10.
The work also includes the replacement of floors and all interior fittings and is aimed at boosting comfort and reliability.
Paul Robinson, director and general manager at NET said: "This investment reflects NET’s commitment to providing a first-class tram network for Nottingham.
"The refurbishment will have significant benefits for customers and has been carefully considered to take into account the needs of people with disabilities, including those with sight impairments.
"Research has shown that having a single look across the fleet can help them access the network and also make it easier to use for people who may have dementia."
To prevent any disruption to services, the refurbishment programme will see the work carried out one tram at a time and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
For the unveiling on Friday, the Sheriff will be joined by long-serving NET drivers who were behind the controls of the first trams to run on the network 15 years ago.
Mr Robinson added: "When the first refurbished tram rolls out of the depot and straight into service on the network, we’re sure the new look will prove a huge hit with customers."
