Metrolink bosses will reconsider banning dogs on trams during peak times. Plans to permanently allow dogs on trams across Greater Manchester have been endorsed by councillors, but some called for the rules to be 'tightened'.
It comes after a trial allowing dogs on the Metrolink which launched last summer received 'very positive' feedback with almost 80 pc of the 3,500 responses to an online survey about the pilot saying it should continue. The move is set to be made permanent with the decision to be rubber-stamped by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) at the end of the month.
Councillors on the Metrolink & Rail Sub-Committee endorsed the proposal at a meeting today (January 13), but some raised concerns. Conservative councillor Doreen Dickinson, who chairs the committee, said the rules are 'very loose'.
