I thought that this had already been built. Seems to have taken a long time. It will be a useful link.

Thanks, I did try that infact but to no avail. I shall search around until I find something that works.

Many Tanks for that very useful info.

Good morning, All being well I am going to Manchester for the day in a couple of months time and want to "Play" on the trams, using the new city link too. I can not seem to find a map online of the whole UPDATED network that will print the whole network on A4 paper. It does the middle part but...

As mentioned above, a few overseas metros run like this, Lille I think and one of the Paris metro lines. Back in the 1960s when the London Transport Victoria line opened, I think it was designed then for driverless operation, not sure if the Jubilee line is too?

I had thought that the horse trams had stopped running due to "Road Improvements or something"

I am planning a visit to Manchester fairly soon, is teh second city link now working ok and is the best day fare £ 5.00 Thanks.?

That's great, thank you. :)

Good morning, All being well I shall be in Brum next month and want to go on the trams for a few stops now they are using New Street Stn. I can not work out from the website how much a return ticket would be say to the Hawthorns or Jewelry Quarter, it would be for afternoon on a week day...

As well as these Metrolink engineering works being helped by steam loco. is it true that elsewhere in the UK, there are still some movements in a heavy industrial area, possibly mining or iron/steel, that are also being operated by steam. I presume shunting wagons etc? I heard about this on a...

Wow, that's amazing, very good to see, I wonder how it came about, using steam rather than diesel?

I too was wondering what was happening with platform 10 at Wimbledon. There are plans, mentioned elsewhere in this forum, to build a second foot bridge at the London end of Wimbledon station which should ease congestion in the rush hour when connecting from the District line to SWT...

Ahem, sorry. I'll stand in the corner.:oops: It sounds like it will be good when it's all completed.

I was in Manchester last week and saw all the work going on. I am not clear though, when the work is all done, will there be a direct tram link again between man Vic & Man Picc on a regular daily basis?

Thank you for all this info, I will note to change at Cornbrook. It's interesting, seeing from the map, how much the tram network has expanded in recent years. I guess we will prob get a day rover type ticket.

Good morning, All being well I hope to be visiting Manchester on a Tuesday or Wednesday in early February. I have heard something about trams not stopping at Man Victoria Station for a while. Does anyone know if that is true, we are planning to visit Salford Media City, so I think we...

Oh right, tks. :D

Does this mean they are seriously looking at bringing back trolley buses to Leads? That would be good.

Thank you to everybody's suggestions here re the journey I was planning. I followed the advise and used the 307,107,292 connections all worked, journey time just under 90 minutes, and then later the walk as suggested from Belsize Park Stn to the LOO at Hampstead Heath Station where I only had...

OK, Thank you for this extra item of info. Rgds.
