Free Metrolink Travel For Pride Goers

METROLINK has partnered up with Manchester Pride 2013 and is offering free City Zone travel for wristband holders to promote safe travel around the city centre during Pride. 

"Take the weight off those heels, wave those wristbands and hop on board."

Pride wristband wearers travelling outside the city centre can also purchase a Weekend Travelcard, which has been specially extended for them to include free travel on Bank Holiday Monday.

Manchester Pride Patron, Christopher Biggins, has been promoting the free City Zone travel offer for wristband holders. He even donned a Metrolink uniform to prepare for his role as a Passenger Services Representative (PSR) in training for the Big Weekend. 

Christopher Biggins said: “Visitors to Manchester Pride will be thrilled.  Metrolink is a fabulous, fun and safe way to travel across the city, so take the weight off those heels, wave those wristbands and hop on board.”

Christopher Biggins Peter Cushing, Metrolink Director for Transport for Greater Manchester, added: “It is wonderful news that we have renewed our partnership with Manchester Pride, supporting Manchester’s LGBT community not only with secure travel during Pride but also its impressive charitable contributions.

“It was a pleasure working with Manchester Pride Patron Christopher Biggins, who did a great job shadowing Metrolink team members on the tram stops.”
