Filmed between 1992 and 2012 we see every* T68 and T68a Manchester Metrolink tram.
The first 5 minutes are a general look at T68's in action, including using their retractable steps at Mosley Street tram stop, after that there is the tram cavalcade and after that a couple of minutes riding tram 1012.
The tram stop with the flowers seen near the start of the film is St. Peter's Square.
The city centre tram stops with the innovative multi-height profiled platforms are also featured extensively.
A few M5000 trams are also seen. These were filmed between 2012 and 2019.
*The only trams I did not film myself are 1000 and 2002, for these we see images found online which have a Creative Commons license that allow re-use.
