On February 29th 2012, Bombardier Flexity tram 104 is seen at the Glenelg terminus, one of the initial order for eleven German built machines. In reality Germany supplied 12 trams as 103 was all but destroyed in high seas, when it broke loose aboard ship between Melbourne and Adelaide. Subsequent deliveries came overland between Melbourne and Adelaide. A new number 103 was last to arrive and the original became a source of spare parts!

When the Bombardiers first entered service in 2006 the city terminus was, as ever, in Victoria Square. The line was extended to the city's Entertainment Centre and an additional four Flexity trams (112-115) ordered. Flexity 108 is at one of the stations on the new route extension.
