With news now reaching us that a more normal timetable will resume on Manchester Metrolink from 5th July this week's "Picture of the Week" takes a look at the Eccles line with a view on Eccles New Road. The Eccles line (on the section between Broadway and Eccles) will be one of those which actually gets a slightly worse peak time timetable as it reverts to every 12 minutes (instead of the current every 10 minutes) although the section between MediaCityUK and Etihad Campus will have trams every 6 minutes with the return of the intermediate services on many routes. This image was taken on 31st May 2021 and shows 3018 coupled to 3112 as the pair head away from the camera on the way to Ashton.
