Philip Purdy, GMPTE Metrolink Director, Helen Flanagan (Rosie  Webster), Brooke Vincent (Sophie Webster) and Councillor Keith Whitmore.

Coronation Street cast members Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent) and Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan) have launched Metrolink's 2010 season ticket campaign.

The girls took time out from the cobbles to promote the great savings that can be made with each of Metrolink's four season tickets - available as weekly, four-weekly, quarterly and annual tickets.

Larger than life characters in the soap, Sophie and Rosie are the perfect pair to take advantage of the added value of Metrolink's big ticket campaign as it provides great savings and the flexibility to visit the shops and various entertainment venues throughout Manchester.

Commuters land a better return for their money as Metrolink's season ticket holders will get the chance to enjoy exclusive offers with selected retailers.

Brooke Vincent and Helen Flanagan said: 'Coronation Street, which is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary, is an integral part of Manchester's history and is one of the city's most famous streets.

'The fact that a tram can be seen passing by in the opening credits of every episode of Coronation Street shows just how much the Metrolink system has become a symbol of modern Manchester.

'We are delighted to be associated with the launch of Metrolink's 2010 season ticket campaign, which will offer passengers great travel discounts and flexibility when they are travelling in the city.'

Philip Purdy, GMPTE Metrolink Director, said: 'Our season ticket holders are valued customers and we wanted to give them something back, both in terms of saving money with Metrolink and the opportunity to enjoy exclusive offers from big brand retailers throughout the city.

'The campaign is part of our commitment to deliver a customer-focussed service and we hope passengers will take advantage of the many travel and retail discounts available with a Metrolink season ticket.'
