So tram 3120 — the last tram ordered by Metrolink — bringing the fleet to 120 Bombardier M5000s, will soon be here in Manchester, so Mr. Cushing, how about that special livery and a name applied to it. When the last Pendolino of the original Virgin Trains order was delivered the name Mission Accomplished was used. Perhaps a name and a different livery will stop many of the yobs from vandalising these £2 million high tech machines. If more of the trams were named there could be a very lucrative market for Metrolink in denaming some now and again and selling off the nameplates at auction. This seems to be the norm for some of the train companies at the present time.
