I've been on the Metrolink quite a few times and the only time I've seen a ticket inspector was on an evening journey when there was a Man United match on. The inspector boarded at Piccadilly Gardens and alighted before Altrincham but he was more concerned about the tram being as full as possible rather than checking all the tickets.

Stagecoach (operator of the Sheffield Super Tram) have just taken over the Manchester Metrolink so when the engineering works have finished there may be more regular checks.
