The colours used couldn\u2019t be much more of a contrast though with <strong>3076<\/strong> this year\u2019s Love Connects Everyone tram whilst <strong>3081<\/strong> has a much more subtle colour for its Oura Ring advert.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>For the fourth year in a row, a tram is carrying special vinyls ahead of Pride season with the \u201cLove Connects Everyone\u201d slogan used once again. We\u2019ve previously seen <strong>3023<\/strong>, <strong>3024<\/strong> and <strong>3002<\/strong> carry the vinyls and this year <strong>3076<\/strong> has been chosen.<\/p>\n<p>The vinyls for <strong>3076<\/strong> are identical to those carried by <strong>3002<\/strong> last year (with those on <strong>3023<\/strong> and <strong>3024<\/strong> 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!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3076<\/strong> 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).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>3081<\/strong> 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 \u00a3349.<\/p>\n<p>This is the (unlucky for some!) 13<sup>th<\/sup> different advert that <strong>3081<\/strong> has carried. Deep breath!
