Apparently they are temporarirly banned from the Altrincham line as they suffer from a mechical fault which kicks in at 35mph and there's also a clearance issue at Altrincham station meaning the M500s have to stop much further up the platform than the T68s.

They seem to be running exclusively on Eccles services right now with the odd Bury or Victoria run, probably assosiated with a return to Queens Road. I can believe this may be down to certain issues with them, particularly that 35mph fault.
It's pretty much been a disaster of a tram to be honest, nice in theory but badly executed. More testing was clearly needed. The Flexiswift wasn't designed for National Rail style running as far as I know.
