The Manchester Metrolink vehicles don't have stop bells
Local routes are the PN 7, WN 8, 25 and 242 (mainly the 8)
Also regularly use the 17

I bet they have a couple somewhere, You won't find them on Levantes unless you know where to look

According to AI, the Metrolink trams don't have bell pushes for passengers to use. There are however buttons which passengers may be asked to push in case of a technical fault meaning the driver is unable to open the doors from the cab.
