Monzo \u2013 the British online bank \u2013 have doubled the tram systems they are advertising on with West Midlands Metro 47<\/strong> joining South Yorkshire Supertram 111<\/strong> in carrying the red vinyls.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

47<\/strong>\u2019s advert is very similar to that carried on Supertram 111<\/strong> and again uses the \u201cGet on. 15 million people have.\u201d wording. The one easily noticeable difference is that the West Midlands Metro version features some vinyls on the windows with a Monzo bank card featuring (although this does only cover a small section of the window).<\/p>\n

Unusually wrapped in the depot yard rather than within the workshop building, 47<\/strong> was spotted having the vinyls being applied on 7th<\/sup> August before it entered service the following day.<\/p>\n

This is 47<\/strong>\u2019s third advert \u2013 all in 2026 \u2013 coming after itv (January-February 2026) and Xero (March-April 2026).<\/p>\n
