There are more livery changes to report on from Manchester Metrolink and this time it is the return of full fleet livery for two trams. 3047 and 3097 had only been in advertising vinyls for less than two months but with contracts coming to an end the adverts have been removed once more.
3047 had been advertising Transpennine Express since February 2025 (which was its ninth different advert – a joint Metrolink record for most adverts on one tram) whilst 3097 had been carrying ads for Sealife (just its second wrap) since late March 2025. But they now carry these adverts no more with both being seen in service during the last few days of April in the familiar yellow and silver Metrolink livery.
The removal of these adverts leaves us with 11 trams in the Metrolink fleet currently carrying vinyl wraps – although how quickly things change with adverts on the modern tramway that probably won’t be the case for long!
