We're going #TrackinTime to August 2018. A significant milestone was achieved on the Manchester Metrolink Trafford Park Line (TPL) extension with the completion of new sidings tracks and overhead lines at Crumpsall. Drone footage from Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), filmed by contractors MPT, provided a bird’s eye view of the works. #throwback #publictransport #metrolink #lightrail #urbanmobility #manchester #metro #lrt

All aboard the love tram... Two NET Nottingham Trams team members have found love with a surprise proposal at the tram network’s 20th-anniversary celebration. Gary and Nicola have worked at NET for 18 and 10 years, respectively, as revenue protection officers and customer experience leaders. They have been together for nine of those years, despite many of their colleagues having no idea. Nottingham’s tram network has played a big part in their lives for so many years that Gary decided to cement their romance at the place where they first fell in love. #nottinghamtrams #tram #tramway #truelove #publictransport #anniversary #nottingham

Cano Water®, the world’s first canned water brand, and Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) have announced an innovative partnership to help consumers stay hydrated in the sunshine while promoting environmental sustainability across the city’s transport network. This summer, commuters have been enjoying a refreshing twist to their journeys as cans of Cano Water, renowned for their infinitely recyclable aluminium packaging, have been distributed at Metrolink’s key city centre stops and transport interchanges. The initiative began in July, when temperatures reached upwards of 24°C, to ensure passengers stayed hydrated in the heat without feeling the need to reach for a plastic water bottle. We love this initiative. It’s great to see such innovative efforts that align with the broader sustainability goals in public transport. #publictransport #sustainability #canowater #manchester #uktram #transportnetwork #metro #manchestermetrolink
