Wythenshawe: Recently, some shocking photos surfaced showing two teens riding on tram connectors. It’s a wild scene that has everyone talking.
The pictures were taken near Hollyhedge Road on a Friday afternoon. You can see the kids leaning on the front of the tram cars, with their feet on the coupler that links the carriages. Just thinking about it makes you cringe!
These images were shared in a local social media group and blew up with reactions. People were understandably upset. One commenter hoped the kids’ parents would see it and give them a good talking-to. Another person said it made them feel sick just to look at it.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) caught wind of this reckless stunt and reported it to the police. Ian Davies, the Network Director for Metrolink, made it clear how dangerous this behavior is. He urged everyone to think twice before doing something so risky.
He also mentioned that their staff keep an eye on things, but they want the public to report any dangerous activities right away. It’s all about keeping everyone safe, after all.
Greater Manchester Police has been reached out to for more info on the situation. Let’s hope this serves as a wake-up call for those involved!
