I would be assumed that new trams in NSW would continue to be
allocated from a continuous block . Reports I've seen so far show that
the X05s have been allocated numbers 2125-2184, following on from the
CAFs on the IW line.
But trams I've seen so far are not carrying these numbers, but another
series starting at 003 (the first set delivered, but may not be the
first started)
2151 doesn't seem to fit either sequence.
The deletion of 13 is a mystery, as 4 is the ominous number for
Asians.

Hi tim i find it stupid that 2113 wasn't used in Sydney because 13 is
supposed to be unlucky 001 in Newcastle makes sense to me also have
they chosen numbers for Sydney X05 citadis trams?

G'day all, well this is a real head scratcher ! I have a bee in my
bonnet about fleet/road numbers.
The new Newcastle tram on it's way down south to Oz already has it's
fleet number 2151 proudly painted /applied on the roofline.
Wondering why they chose 2151, could have been just 001.
The Varios when they arrived had their numbers on already, but the
GCLR trams & the X05s didn't till later.
Why is this ? The new Canberra trams have their numbers applied after
arrival too.
I know it's not really that important in the general scheme of things,
but those of us pedantic enough for details get a bit mift!
Me thinks I see a trip up north in the coming months. (The wife's
gonna love that, not !)
At least I have free accommodation at my auntie's place.
Gotta go now & have a bex and a good lie down.
Tim, in Sydney.
