Last I checked, the Weatherfield North tram stop, or at least the front uses official Transport for Greater Manchester branding, but Metrolink is not referenced. The TfGM branding is used on the bus stops too I believe.
If you know the area then the fake tram stop is about 100m away from the IWM tram stop on the Trafford Park line.
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned that Norris Cole has been written out of Coronation Street and has been killed off, off screen, a very funny character, quite annoying but funny at the same time and will be dearly missed. I know that Malcolm Hebden is still with us and I wish him a happy retirement he deserves.
I watched the Coronation Street Icons for Norris and thought it was a good send off for Norris/Malcolm, especially considering his last episode wasn't set up as his last. It is a shame that Malcolm has decided to leave completely.

I'm still crossing my fingers that Norris has left a video will.

Considering he was on set to film his contribution to Icons, it is possible!
Although I get the feeling Des wasn’t a regular viewer of Corrie
Was his questioning always so quick fire, it was like he was doing the Yes No Game on Take Your Pick
Oops! A little brief appearance of the end credits before they were supposed to!
One of the best Corrie scenes ever.

I'm sure people can't have failed to notice that the vicar marrying Roy and Hayley in the ITV3 episodes is the same actress as the judge presiding over Seb's murder case in the current episodes.
Thankfully, Roy and Hayley's marriage would actually be legal now, which shows us how far we've come, but also there's sadly still far too many people like Les Battersby and the tabloid hacks who turned up to photograph the "freak show", which shows in some ways how we haven't.
Also, one of the reporters was played by Ian Kershaw, Julie Hesmondhalgh's real-life husband.
I've just seen one of Adam Rickitt's records on MTV Classic which feels like it must be the first time any of them's had airplay in the last 20 years. This week on ITV3 we've just seen him leave the show for said music career.
The "market" on yesterday's second ITV3 episode was also clearly just the far end of the outdoor set, on the opposite side of Kevin's garage, with some tarpaulins and the like up to hide things. You could still make out the arches at the end of the street and could even see part of the Granada studio building.
Still social distancing on Corrie, and the other soaps. We must be passed episodes filmed after the 19th July how, how much longer did they keep it afterwards? Everyone standing apart really feels like it's hampering the shows now. I have seen some photos over the last few weeks from the filming of upcoming storylines where it doesn't look like there's distancing, so maybe we won't be seeing it for too much longer.
