Two more trams are sporting new wraps on Manchester Metrolink following the application of new vinyls as a new month begins. The colours used couldn’t be much more of a contrast though with 3076 this year’s Love Connects Everyone tram whilst 3081 has a much more subtle colour for its Oura Ring advert.
For the fourth year in a row, a tram is carrying special vinyls ahead of Pride season with the “Love Connects Everyone” slogan used once again. We’ve previously seen 3023, 3024 and 3002 carry the vinyls and this year 3076 has been chosen.
The vinyls for 3076 are identical to those carried by 3002 last year (with those on 3023 and 3024 being identical to each other too) and features the familiar rainbow colours along with standard Metrolink livery on the ends. It certainly adds some colour to things!
3076 has previously carried three other adverts: J J Whitley Vodka (December 2019-March 2020), NOCCO (August 2021-June 2022) and BRIT Awards 2026 (January-March 2026).
Meanwhile, 3081 is now in an advert for Oura Ring. The advert is a sort of grey and brown and is promoting the Oura Ring which is a smart ring. According to their website it will allow you to enhance your health journey and provides round-the-clock insights into sleep, fitness, and stress for wellness. It seems the cheapest ring available on their website is £349.
This is the (unlucky for some!) 13th different advert that 3081 has carried. Deep breath! IKEA, Starling Bank, GetOnBoard, Hard Rock Café, Delicia Drench Body Butter, Autotrader, Juneyao Airlines, David Hockney at Aviva Studios, JD Sports, Arndale Centre, Power of You by Giorgio Armani, and Adidas.

Also at St Peter’s Square we see 3081 working a service to East Didsbury in an advert for Oura Ring. (Photographs x2 by Reece Hughes, 3rd June 2026)
