Now onto the new adverts, with three recently seen on some of the earlier batches of M5000s (its still the case than none of the most recent batch, 3121<\/strong> onwards, have received an advert but with their livery in a far better state than many of the others that is understandable).<\/p>\n First out was 3038<\/strong> which is carrying ads for #GetOnBoard \u2013 a TfGM initiative to get more people using public transport. This campaign had previously been publicised on 3059<\/strong>, 3061<\/strong> and 3081<\/strong> last year but this is a new design. Whether this is a full advert is open for debate as it uses the standard Metrolink fleet livery with some additional vinyls on parts of the tram. This is 3038<\/strong>\u2019s first advert.<\/p>\n Then along came 3031<\/strong> \u2013 also its first advert \u2013 which is carrying adverts for the Great Manchester Run which takes place on Sunday 21st<\/sup> May. Using a blue and red background this was first seen in action at the start of the last week of March.<\/p>\n Finally, 3080<\/strong> is now advertising USDAW. Similar to the advert that the union had on 3064<\/strong> until December 2022 it too was first seen at the beginning of the final week of March. And as with both 3031<\/strong> and 3038<\/strong> this is 3080<\/strong>\u2019s very first advert.<\/p>\n The advertising liveries on 3066<\/strong> (Hits Radio), 3075<\/strong> (The Trafford Centre) and 3117<\/strong> (Lifebuoy Soap) all remain in place.<\/p>\n The new advert for the Great Manchester Run which is now to be found on 3031. This is St Peter\u2019s Square. (Photograph by Reece Hughes, 27th March 2023)<\/p><\/div>\n 3030 has not only lost its advert but also some of its spots! Running as a double unit with 3076 we see the tram approaching St Werburgh\u2019s Road on the way to East Didsbury.
