First Week of Metrolink
First Week of Metrolink
Metrolink opened for passengers on 6 April 1992, running between Victoria and Bury only. Many people turned up to sample a ride, and for a few days every tram carried two police constables! Here a car is seen receding from the camera as it sets off from Victoria.
