ITV soap star's Julia Goulding (Shona Platt), Peter Gunn (Brian Packham) and Elle Mulvaney (Amy Barlow) launched the special initiative
Coronation Street fans have been told to 'keep your eyes out' amid a 'cool' move by the ITV soap in its home city of Manchester.
In the real world, to head towards the Corrie site for a visit, the nearest stop is the IWM North, a short wander away from the Coronation Street Experience. But from Wednesday , fans of the show were given the opportunity to arrive in true 'Corrie style' with the launch of the Coronation Street Experience tram, a unique homage to the show which will meander across the Metrolink network for the next 12 months.
Sharing a snap on Instagram, the soap star said: "This is so cool!! Keep your eye out for the new 'Corrie Experience Tram' when you're out and about in Manchester from this week onwards!" And his fans and followers were impressed. John Whiston, MD Continuing Drama for ITV Studios said "We've got our very own Weatherfield tram stop where our characters catch a handy tram 'into town'. And we've even very occasionally got a virtual tram going past over our bridge. However we've never actually ventured onto Manchester's Metrolink other than fictionally, so it's exciting that an actual tram will sport some fine Coronation Street livery.
