Due to the major improvement works being carried out at St Peter’s Square, Metrolink services through this area are restricted with single line working only possible through the square. Trams are running in both directions over the outbound line, but not stopping in the square platform. A form of token working is being used. The driver must carry the token; unless there is to be more than one tram in the same direction, when he must be shown the token and given the authority to proceed. A temporary shelter has been erected to house the ‘signalman’ who controls the line. Here, an inbound tram is approaching the checkpoint at the city end of the viaduct at Lower Mosley Street.
