A rear view of 53 arriving at Mühlauer Brücke terminus. This car carried a taster of the new livery applied to the Flexity Outlook trams. It was one of three cars from Bielefeld to run in GT8 formation (i.e. with three sections), but as shown in an earlier photo it operated at first as a GT6 and its middle section was added to ex-Hagen car 63 which then became 83, which has since become a museum car.

Ironically, the same thing has happened to 53, which after withdrawal in 2008 returned to Bielefeld to become a museum car there.
