Not previously reported on these pages – and we’re not sure when it was first applied – is a new advert on Manchester Metrolink M5000 3115. This is the first full advert to be carried by the tram which is the 44th of the M5000s to have now carried an advert.
The advert on 3115 is for the new Aardman Animations stop-motion short film Robin Robin which premiered on Netflix last year. As the premiere for the film was back in December 2021 presumably the vinyls were added around the same time although this is the first time we’ve had any reports on the advert.
