Gareth - 14th April 2024
One of many new advert liveries seen on Manchester Metrolink over the first few months of 2024 is this design on 3118. Advertising Tommy Hilfiger the vinyls - the first to be applied to the tram - were added during April 2024. With blossom on the trees in St Peter's Square the tram is seen arriving on the way to Rochdale Town Centre via Market Street with 2CC remaining closed for through trams. This was on 5th April 2024.
Another set of photos from the recent archives this week as we head to the Heaton Park Tramway. The photos come from the Blackpool Day which was held in November 2010 and saw Marton 31 and the unforgettable sight of Open Top Balloon 706 on loan on the tramway. Also in service on the day were Replica Vanguard 619 (still in brown) and Railgrinder 752 for what was one of the best events to be held on the tramway.
There are updates this week to the Manchester Metrolink (new advert, advert removed and photo links), Manx Electric Railway (last operating dates), Snaefell Mountain Railway (tram under attention) and West Midlands Metro (photo links) Fleet Lists as well as the Manchester Metrolink (new advert, advert removed and photo links) Advert List.
It has been another week of new adverts in Manchester as we feature new vinyls on both 3064 and 3118. Meanwhile the news from the West Midlands Metro this week concerns the completion of engineering works which enabled services to resume again as planned from 10th April between Wednesbury and Edgbaston Village. We've also seen photos from the Statfold Barn Railway as Burton & Ashby 14 is in service again and in Blackpool there's an update from North Station with overhead wires now back all the way to the end of the line.
