The M5000's That Have Run.

[northernrail]

Hi,
During another thread it has been brought up about Metrolink's 3014, when 3001 and 2 were pulled from service due to there injury's 3013 was fitted with the signalling system, allowing it to run.
but im sure ive seen it parked up in Piccadilly Reversal Siding and something brought up in another thread that 3014 has run?
Can anyone shed some light or is my brain getting confused

I don't believe anything past 3013 has carried passengers. The poster on the other thread may have been referring to 3014 being tested on the south Manchester line.

3014 & 3015 have been retrofitted with ATS. My understanding is at least another 4 will be retrofitted. The intention is to provide enough vehicles to allow the chorlton line to open without a full switchover to TMS. It will work in the same way as the Eccles line, which flip flops between the 2 signalling systems!
