Manchester Metrolink tram 1014 turning from Market Street into Mosley Street
One of the first batch of Manchester Metrolink trams, which went into public service in 1992. It was built by Firema in Italy, and has the rather strange sounding name "City of Drama". In 2009 delivery of a further 40 trams supplied by Bombardier commenced. These will provide much needed extra capacity, allow the Media City shuttle service to commence, and be used on the further extensions being built over the next few years. These are known as Phase 3a and when all the Bombardier trams are delivered, the fleet will total 72. This will be the largest fleet in the UK, with the possible exception of Blackpool, where a lot of the fleet are vintage vehicles, which are not used often or are withdrawn. If the Phase 3b extensions go ahead, Manchester will require even more vehicles.

Former Bank across the tramlines
The building on the corner of Mosley Street and Market Street was for many years a branch Santander Bank and before that the Abbey Bank, originally the Abbey National Building Society. Now it appears to be selling e-cigs wholesale. Greggs and Costa can be found on one side and Burger King on the other.

Piccadilly (1976)
The western (Mosley Street) end of Piccadilly, viewed from the multi-storey car park. The bus stands nearest to the camera are still there today (albeit redesigned and modernised), but the area in front of (what was then) Lewis's is now dominated by the Metrolink tramway and closed to other forms of traffic.
