Today “Out and About” is off to Manchester Metrolink with a view of a new advert for 2026.
3102 is the first tram in 2026 to have received a new vinyl wrap advert with it having received an advert for itv. Similar to West Midlands Metro this is a regionalised itv ad with it having a Greater Manchester theme, and is there anything on that channel more associated with the region than Coronation Street? The bright yellow advert – although a slightly different shade of yellow than the normal fleet livery – is seen on the tram here as it departs from Deansgate-Castlefield on the way to Rochdale.
