Same on the trams in Manchester, despite it being a by-law saying you've got to wear a mask while travelling on Metrolink I've never seen the by-law actually enforced and passengers being done for not wearing one, I mean I've even seen Metrolink staff themselves not wearing masks when travelling.

The bye-law was enforced on trams. Punters were asked to either put a mask on, show exemption or leave at the next stop.

Let’s not forget the transport industry was heavily propped up financially during the last mask wearing so operators could afford to refuse non mask wearers etc, it’s a very different story now. I think this could make issues with staff shortages etc worse.
