Metrolink T68 1003 has recently returned to service featuring revised advertising vinyls in the middle of its Yellow and Silver livery. You may remember that this tram was initially reliveried at the end of 2011 and featured advertising vinyls for Manchester’s Christmas Markets before this was altered in early 2012 to advertise a special exhibition at the
Imperial War Museum North. Now these vinyls have been changed again with the Imperial War Museum again the advertiser. 1003 remains the only T68 to have received the new colours and with the original vehicles now being withdrawn it would appear that this will remain so.
