We have previously seen Dippy on Tour (<strong>3089<\/strong>) and Clean Air Manchester (<strong>3066<\/strong>) running together and in this article we see two of the newer adverts \u2013 <strong>3091<\/strong>\u2019s Go North Wales vinyl and <strong>3073<\/strong>\u2019s intu Trafford Centre partnered together. Both of these adverts were first seen in March at the start of this crisis with both debuting around the time of the opening of the line to the intu Trafford Centre, with <strong>3073<\/strong> being the first public service tram to arrive and depart from the terminus of that line.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35121\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=35121\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-35121\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35121\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35121\" title=\"1.3091+3073-kc\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1.3091+3073-kc-550x440.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1.3091+3073-kc-550x440.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1.3091+3073-kc.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-35121\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In this first image we see 3091 \u2013 as is usual with standard fleet livery from the end \u2013 leading 3073 into Chorlton.
