We go out for a sunny “Lockdown Walk” today in Manchester.
Eccles New Road – which has seen Metrolink trams run along it in service since 21st July 2000 – was closed to all traffic earlier this year to allow for essential road repair works which meant that the Metrolink service through to Eccles had to be suspended for two and a half weeks. But with the road now repaired trams have been able to run all the way into Eccles once more since early April.
Here we see 3104 on Eccles New Road with evidence of road repairs in front of it. (Photograph by Keith Chadbourne, 31st May 2021)
