Some have come and gone but one which was applied in March 2025 and still remains is this one on 3119. It promotes the Tap and Go payment system which now means contactless payments are capped across tram and bus services in the region. The tram is seen at St Peter&#8217;s Square on 29th March 2025 working to Manchester Airport.
