Having been back in fleet livery for a little over a month, Manchester Metrolink 3061 is now once again running with advertising vinyls following the application for a new advert for 4th Arq.
Judging by the vinyls you’d probably be slightly hard pressed to know what 5th Arq are but according to the internet they are a “premium lifestyle brand, that celebrates every body. Our mission is to create an everyday uniform that makes you feel your best, and look great. We firmly believe the paradigm has shifted and fashion as an expression of personality, and the way in which we consume it, has changed”. From that we take it as meaning they are a clothing brand!
The new advert is a light design with wording limited to the 4th Arq brand and the usual product images.
This is advert number six for 3061, three of which have been seen in 2024. Previous ads are Babyliss (September-October 2019), GetOnBoard (October-December 2022), Pegasus Airlines (May-November 2023), Rochdale Town Hall (February-May 2024) and Rockstar Energy Drink (June-August 2024).
First day out for 3061 in its new advert was a wet 30th September 2024. Allocated to The Trafford Centre route its seen here heading in that direction. (Photograph by Reece Hughes, 30th September 2024)
