Metrolink Logo
Hey thanks for informing that the logo is PD. Still, the logo doesn't have a transparent background and is rather unsightly when placed in the infobox for the article. Could you kindly modify the background to transparent so that the the infobox doesn't look like there's a logo just crudely copied and pasted onto the page? I would love to do that myself, but I'm in quite a bit of work recently to make time for it. Cheers. --AsianHippie (talk) 06:04, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
