As reported previously on British Trams Online the last day of operation for the two remaining Manchester Metrolink T68As was on Wednesday 30th April when 2001 and 2003 were allocated to running on the Bury-Abraham Moss shuttle. 2001 departed Bury at 1951 with the penultimate departure before 2003 followed with the final service to Abraham Moss leaving rather appropriately at 2003 with the tannoy playing “I Did it My Way” by Frank Sinatra ahead of departure! We can now bring you a few images from the last day ahead of a full “Farewell” gallery to follow in the next few weeks.
