On our way we boarded the tram at Piccadilly Gardens. I was surprised that it was just a single tram (3019). Needless to say it was wedged by the time we got to Bury.
On our return we arrived at the Interchange at 1450, the tram arrived at 1510. Again just a single tram (3018) for a vast throng of passengers who had been waiting. We were lucky that we got a seat because for those standing it must have been an uncomfortable and very sweaty journey. We left passengers behind at Bury, Ratcliffe and all other stations down the line because they could not get on board!
What are Metrolink playing at putting single trams out on a restricted service on a Saturday? Metrolink management should be sacked for such a lack of foresight.

I am also surprised by the use of single trams yesterday, when there were so many spare units due to engineering works on the western sections! I rode a single unit from Ashton to Piccadilly, heading for Bury, at around 7pm.

On June 14th I went to Bury for a meal woth a friend. It was a double working, and I sat at the front of the rear unit (if you get my drift). Thus it creted the appearance as though we were running driverless and pushing the front unit for good measure!
