Manchester Metrolink 3117 is the latest tram to have seen expired advertising vinyls removed with it now back in the standard silver and yellow (not forgetting the spots!) fleet livery.
3117 has been advertising the Disney Pixar film Hoppers since February. With the film having been released in UK cinemas on 6th March 2026 and it rapidly approaching May it is now time for the yellow vinyls to be removed again.
This was the ninth advert that 3117 had carried: Manchester College, Cyberpunk 2077, Lifebuoy Soap, Yayoi Kusama Aviva Studio, Marks Electrical, Aperol Spritz, Wednesday, Wicked For Good, and Hoppers.
3117 was working with another recent advert removal tram, 3091, when seen running to Bury at Queens Road. (Photograph by Reece Hughes, 28th April 2026)
