Manchester Metrolink Eccles.T68 &T68a cars February 2013

AnsaldoBreda built T68 and T68a cars return to duties on the Salford Quays and Eccles line. Filmed on Langworthy Road and Eccles New Road these soon to be withdrawn, overweight cars really pound over rail joints and crossings. As usual the Manchester weather lived up to it's reputation.

Very well done! I'm from Eccles. You have made us residents proud!

[@fredcollins]

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, will miss them. What was the norm is now becoming little by little the unusual.

[@peterbryant3030]

All gone except for one which is in storage for the Heaton Park vintage tram line.

[@soundseeker63]

I love the space ship noises they make. The new ones are bland by comparison. Miss these old ones.

I like the old trams with the new livery and advertising. Looks very metropolitan. It's a shame metrolink just seem to want it to look like a shopper hopper service.

All the T68s are now gone - only 2 T68A's remain in service -- 2001 & 2003

[@nothisispatrick6180]

I miss that old blue livery

[@JalanBax]

I gotta say that the T68 looks very silly in the Metrolink yellow livery.

how long you live there for ??

[@amarucordova9790]

what the heck. it is my house

[@toddhunter3137]

Back in the days when they drove the trams. Got the people where they wanted to be. Unlike nowadays I think metrolink rely on the wind blowing the trams the way the piddle about at. Cyclists clock up more speed!

[@lumpismyoldusername]

The new M5000 trams drive the same way the T68 and T68A would drive
