An unusual #ThrowbackThursday this week - this is how planners visualised the Metrolink system when it was just a proposal. Apart from the orange tram, we think it turned out very close!
A drawing or artist's impression shows an orange Metrolink tram leaving the undercroft at Manchester Piccadilly, emerging on to London Road. The drawing is a watercolour and it shows Manchester Piccadilly railway station as well as the tram, plus a pub on the corner of the street.
