The new Urbos 3 trams are well into their deployment, but what will become of the old T69s? Apparently 01, 03, 04, and 07 have gone to the 'tram test centre' at Long Marston, according to Wiki.

I know it's a bit late to ask.

As far as I know, all of the T-69 trams have gone to Long Marston; some for long term storage, and the others as you say for use at the light rail test facility.

The T69s are not officially completely withdrawn from service, merely mothballed until (in theory) they could be put to use on future Metro extensions. In practice however, I fear this is unlikely and that they have seen their last days in revenue service.
