Description

After footage showing the automatic door of a tram in operation, and various trams arriving and departing, the film shows interiors of trams and their passengers. There are then scenes of inside the control room at the Metrolink HQ, with operators on control desks. This is followed by exterior scenes featuring 'parked' trams - there is also a scene of a tram hoisted up on a platform so that maintenance work can be done on the undercarriage.
