I spent six days in Manchester a fortnight ago, riding the Eccles extension every day. I found that the 5000 series trams didn't like the sharp curves around the old docks area. One lady driver slowed to 5mph for each sharp curve! I didn't notice any problems with the passenger announcements, in fact I was quite impressed. The older trams did seem to give a better, smoother ride and took the curves easier. I didn't realise that the 5000's had "thinking" lights, it wasn't apparent in normal running.
