CORONATION STREET producers have forced a Manchester transport company to silence trams to prevent noise disrupting filming at the Corrie set.
ITV claim that at the time of construction on its new £10million set in 2013, it was unaware of the proposed Metrolink tram route.
Corrie producers were upset when they discovered a £350million extension to the tram-line would be within 25 yards of the studio.
After complaining to council planners that the noise of the transport service would cause havoc with filming schedules, a decision was made that noise-cancelling acoustic mats will be inserted.
The pads will be placed under special free-floating tracks and friction reducers will be added to the rails near the Coronation Street set in Salford.
The company’s Head of Projects Chris Barnes explained: “Building a tram line next to businesses and people’s place of work is not without its challenges and we’ve been working closely with stakeholders for a number of years now to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.”
He added: “One of the conditions to us building the new extension was to address ITV’s concerns in respect of noise and vibration generated from an operational tram network.
“Thanks to a lot of hard work I’m pleased mitigation measures have now been agreed with ITV that will ensure we do not add to the drama when Coronation Street is filming.”
