The door chime, the startup whine (even the folding mirrors back in the day)
Oh I do miss them

If you're wondering what the T68As were needed, they were needed for the Eccles line. 2001 had a brake issue in March 2006, and saw it out of use for 5 years until June 2011. 2003 was a spare tram retained.
