EYES DOWN FOR A FULL HOUSE: All three platforms at Manchester Metrolink’s Deansgate- Castlefield stop, on the west side of the city centre, are occupied in this shot taken looking east in the evening rush hour of January 24. On the left is a double-set heading for Ashtonunder-Lyne with tram No. 3089 at the rear, then No. 3008 forms a Trafford Centre service, while on the right, No. 3105 is for Eccles. Meanwhile, another double-set approaches from the city centre in the background. The tram stop is built on what used to be the throat of the former Manchester Central station, which is now a convention centre.
