Trams play an important part at Shudehill linking as the do from the City Centre on to Victoria railway station and to Bury.
The first generation of modern trams were Italian built Ansaldo Firema T-68/T-69‘s. Dating from the early 1990’s They have now all been withdrawn.
‘Metrolink’ the operator have replaced them with new Bombardier ‘Flexity Swift 5000’ ‘Light Rail Vehicles’ (trams to you and me).
84 units have been delivered and another 32 were authorised to be delivered up to 2016. Costing £2,000,000 each they are fast, powerful and comfortable.
The suffix ‘B’ in the number indicates the particular ‘end’ on the vehicle.
