Hi all,
Was in Manchester on 10 June for a job interview (No, I'm not moving up there. it was the head office for a home-based position). Afterwards I went tram riding on parts of Manchester Metrolink.
Car 1014 enters Stretford with an Altrincham service.
Close-up of 1014.
Cornbrook is unusual on Metrolink in that it has a third platform which I understand is only used for staff training purposes.
Car 1015 modified for Eccles branch street running entering the single-line terminus at Eccles.
Had an interesting (not) journey to Manchester, Following the cancellation of the 06:12 Stowmarket-Peterborough service, I drove to Ely and got the last station car park space then got the 07:44 East Midlands service to Manchester Piccadilly, returned on the delayed 16:42 EM service to Norwich and didn't get home until 22:00!!!!
If I get the job, it comes with a company car, thank God!!!
Cheers,
Dave
