England and Manchester United star Ella Toone will be voicing Bee Network Metrolink announcements ahead of Manchester United’s huge Champions League clash with PSG this week. The Lioness star and her Manchester United teammates will be taking on PSG at Old Trafford on Wednesday (November 12), hoping to maintain their 100% record in the competition this season.
When and where to hear Ella Toone’s Metrolink announcements?
The two-time Euros winner’s voice will be heard through special announcements on platforms across the Metrolink network, urging people to get off at either Wharfside or Old Trafford for the match and to use contactless tap and go for an easy journey. The announcements are currently live and will run until the football match.
If you are going to the game, Old Trafford tram stop is just a few minutes’ stroll from the ground on the Altrincham line, and Wharfside is also just a short walk away.
Tyldesley-born Ella Toone is the latest star to lend her name to Greater Manchester’s Metrolink announcements, following in the footsteps of the likes of Liam Gallagher, Rita Ora, Tony the Tiger, Sir Mo Farah and Eilish McColgan.
Fran Wilkinson, TfGM’s Director of Customer and Growth, said: “With Manchester United welcoming fellow European giants PSG to Old Trafford on Wednesday, it’s brilliant to have one of Greater Manchester’s very own European champions lending a hand to help people get to the game.
“A huge thanks to Ella and Manchester United for getting involved. Keep an ear out when you’re on the tram over the next few days.
“If you are heading to the game, the tram is the best option, and with trams every 12 minutes, and a range of top value fares – it’s quick, convenient and affordable.”
