700 has been in this livery for a few years now since it was modified (the doors are wider in order to use the LRT platforms).
Merseytravel has put them up for sale but with most Heritage tramways having Brush cars, the future doesn't look good for them - the possibility being parts. Sadly none of them are the first or last of type, so even that wouldn't edge an interest. As for the Trailer, the future for that is probably even bleaker as there is no motor with it. The only one which may stand a chance is 626 at Birkenhead as it has been undercover which does help these vehicles and right next to a Heritage Tramway. I'm sure 626 would be a valuable member of the Wirral Heritage Tramway (definitely a good choice in the Winter as it does have heaters).
