Gallery 568: Manchester Metrolink Second City Crossing Testing - 1st November 2015

In the early hours on Sunday 1st November M5000s 3083 and 3090 became the first trams to run on Manchester Metrolink's Second City Crossing as testing of the line between Victoria and Exchange Square started. The two trams ran as a pair on a return trip operating at slow speed as part of an initial gauging run. The line is due to commence operation before Christmas with further testing due to take place ahead of this. In this gallery we present a number of photos from the night of testing.

All Photographs in this collection were taken by Steve Kemp on 1st November 2015.
