Gareth - 20th June 2026
As has become tradition each year, Manchester Metrolink once again have a tram in a sepcial livery ahead of Pride and this year it is 3076 that is telling us that Love Connects Everyone. In an identical design to that seen in 2025 we capture 3076 at St Peter's Square when working to East Didsbury as its bright colours brighten up even the greyest of Manchester days! This was 3rd June 2026.
This week we have photos once again from Manchester Metrolink. These images were captured over a few days in late April and early May 2026 and are mainly from Manchester City Centre as well as a quick trip out to Salford Quays.
This week there are updates this week to the Manchester Metrolink (new adverts and photo links), South Wales Metro (photo links), Tyne and Wear Metro (trains scrapped) and West Midlands Metro (photo links) Fleet Lists. There are also updates to the Manchester Metrolink (new adverts and photo links) and West Midlands Metro (photo links) Advert Lists.
Last week at the Alford Valley Community Railway was a significant event as Aberdeen Suburban Tramways Company 11 returned to service after an overhaul. Whilst no longer a tram the body has been converted into hauled rolling stock and is now back in use once again with it used for the first time on Saturday 13th June. Also this week we have seen new adverts in Manchester and on the West Midlands Metro with photos included on the new looks for these trams. There has been another update from South Wales as training continues on the new tram-trains ahead of their entry into service later this summer. And as we prepare for the last guaranteed use of the Metrocars on the Tyne and Wear Metro (Friday 26th June is the last day) there have been updates on fleet changes and Nexus also continue to look back at their history. Staying in the northeast and Gateshead 10 has moved roads in the depot at Beamish under its own power - the first time since its overhaul it has done so.
