The automatic closing of the doors after 4 seconds was deactivated for a time but was later reintroduced. As part of the regular maintenance cycle, a small revamp at BKV's rail vehicle maintenance company (BKV VJSz) saw the cars retrofitted with internal and external
Vultron LED displays.

The positive experience of TW6000 operation in
Budapest convinced BKV to purchase further cars of the same type. In 2011, another 16 TW6000 cars arrived to Budapest partly from Hanover and partly from The Hague (see below). A further four cars arrived to BKV VJSz in order to provide spare parts. An

for the purchase of 68 units altogether. The first cars (6061 and 6070) arrived at BKV in 2001 to begin their 10,000-kilometre-long (6,200 mi) test run. The first run in passenger operation on the tramline number 3 was in
October 2001. The cars got new numbers in Budapest, beginning with 1500.

The cars got an overhaul in
Hanover and were repainted into the orange yellow livery used on the BKV trams (earning the nickname "banana" for having arrived green and consumed yellow); the inner side of the doors were originally left green, but later repainted to white. They were retrofitted with

cars in 1980-84. The TW6000 would arrive in good condition and had a highly favorable price compared to new trams. Nevertheless, it was often disputed if
Budapest really had to rely on used trams, and the contradictory feelings were so strong that the leading party of the Budapest council

insulation, vibration damping and seamless acceleration mean a higher standard of comfort than some other tram types in
Budapest can provide. From February 2024 revamped cars have the moving stairs eliminated among other changes as there are no high platforms in the tram network.
864:. The service, operated by HTM of The Hague on behalf of NS, ran from January 2001 until December 2008. One unit (6016) has since been scrapped, the other (6021) sold to BKV of Budapest, where it is in service with new number 1585.
