3071 at St Peter's Square3071 at St Peter's SquareWearing temporary rainbow branding for Pride Manchester, 3071 approaches St Peter's Square with an Eccles - Ashton service 17.8.18 A 3 day visit to Manchester allowed me the chance to sample the Manchester Metrolink! With 120 M5000 trams and a further 27 on order, Manchester Metrolink has the largest fleet of trams in the country.  

Some of the best locations in the city centre include St Peter's Square, the Delta triangle at Picadilly Gardens and Victoria Station.  These 3 spots will allow you to see everything that is running on a particular day.  

The MediacityUK terminus area is another good spot with all the modern architecture around the area and Salford Quays on the Eccles line is also decent.
