tram advertising formats
Tram advertising in Manchester is not limited to one format. Brands can use the full exterior of a tram, appear inside the carriage during the journey, or target passengers at key stops across the network. That flexibility makes Metrolink advertising suitable for both broad brand awareness and more detailed local messaging.
The main options include tram wraps in Manchester, T-End tram ads, tram sides, interior panels and selected stop-based formats. Depending on campaign goals, advertisers can use Metrolink advertising to build city-wide presence, reinforce visibility on repeated journeys, or place more detailed messages in front of passengers while they travel.
tram wraps
Tram wraps use the full exterior of a Metrolink tram, creating one of the highest-impact formats on the network. For brands looking for broad visibility and standout presence across the city, tram wraps in Manchester are a strong option for launches, major campaigns and brand-led activity.
t-end tram ads
T-End ads appear on the front or rear end of the tram, helping brands stay highly visible as vehicles move through the network and stop to pick up passengers. This format offers strong prominence and repeated exposure across regular routes
sides
Tram side advertising uses large exterior panels running along the side of the vehicle. These formats give brands consistent visibility as trams travel through Greater Manchester and pause at stops across the network.
interior panels
Interior panels place the message inside the tram carriage, where passengers have more time to take in what they are seeing during the journey. This makes them especially useful for campaigns that need to explain an offer, promote a location or include a clear call to action.
tram stops & network
Metrolink advertising can also include formats positioned at tram stops and across the wider network, helping brands build visibility at key points in the passenger journey. These options can work well on their own or alongside tram-based formats as part of a broader Manchester transport campaign.
cross-network options
For advertisers looking to extend coverage further, tram and bus advertising can also be used together to build broader visibility across the Bee Network. This can help brands stay present across multiple public transport environments rather than relying on a single format.
