3003 approaching Cambrian Street bridge between Etihad and Holt Town stops enroute from Droylsden to Piccadilly
Manchester's Metrolink tram system is currently undergoing a major expansion of the network which includes the delivery of a batch of 48 new trams (numbered 3001-48) which will supplement the existing fleet. The new cars are the M5000 Flexity Swift built by Bombardier and are easily spotted in their eyecatching new livery, which will eventually be applied to the older trams after they have been refurbished. From my own observations at present the new cars would appear to be confined to the Piccadilly - Eccles route, although I may be wrong. Here we see car 3003 turning from Piccadilly Gardens into Mossley Street bound for Eccles.
