Re: Sydney tram fleet (modern era)

Due to  well documented problems with the CAF trams, Urbos trams have been operating on the L1 Lilyfield line until the 4 new CAF units were commissioned.

OK, now I have only been to Sydney once in recent times (last September) so my knowledge of the fleet is minimal. My previous visit when Lilyfield was the terminus was eons ago - well it seems like it - and the variotrams held sway then.
So attempting to navigate through the wiki entry I found that the fleet appears to be ---
Variotrams   2101-2107  all withdrawn and one only preserved.
Urbos 2  2108-2111  all returned to EuropeUrbos 3  2112, 2114-2124 (2113 never used owing to superstition)
Urbos 3/100    2125-2128Citadas 305     001 - 060
Now my comment is that as I enter my visit last year into my journal I have noted that certain trips were in e.g. tram 03, and 52 on the Lilyfield line, whilst trips on the Southern lines were in e.g. cars 13 & 14, 35 & 36 etc. These latter cars I assume are actually 013 & 014, 035 & 036 but what is the tram numbered 03 & 52 on the Lilyfield line?
