Will they be fitting signals to the traffic lights?

Just been reading this, Is there any of the line left that went from oldham werneth to middleton via chadderton or has that been built on? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middleton_Junction_and_Oldham_Branch_Railway

They was repainted into gm colours and yes they are similar to the Scottish livery. Found this on wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:303348_Dinting.jpg

Had to work today,i will look forward to seeing the pics on SSC, if its back online!!

Blackpool council have just remodelled talbot road from the prom upto the new roundabout outside wilkinsons/the old bus station and now they are gonna rip it all up again to put tracks down, is it me or do Blackpool council like wasting money?!

Looking at the pics on SSC, the usual bunch.

There is already a thread on here about the T68s, see link below; http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=71251

That was on the SSC site last week, should rename them the Manchester evening old news!

I thought it was 16352 that caught fire on the 68 outside blackpool; Link of the newspaper article from the Lancashire evening post; http://www.lep.co.uk/news/local/passengers-flee-bus-fire-1-3543603 16352 when in service;

back up and running now.

Anyone else having problems getting on the skyscrapercity site as i keep getting the 404 page not found.

The service was de-registered due too lack of passengers when the M60 between oldham and stockport was opened, there was talk of it coming back with the kickstart programme but it was called off by the government now its just change after change now on the buses, unless you catch the train...

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=866944 Will this help? From page 885 you will see pics of the trams testing on the Oldham line.

Metrolink have plain clothes inspectors on the trams seen some about when i visit family in the manchester area.

I dont the know the fleet numbers its that complicated (nothing like stagecoach that end with the reg numbers) that first started on the 135 then went to bolton for the 582 then got withdrawn have been stored at leeds, the scania bendies on the 135 are still bury based.

I think all the bendies have been moved to leeds.

What about blackpool transport?

If things go to plan with the oldham line,i wonder if worstbus will put there fares down as they might think it will be competition on the manchester-oldham routes and worst charge over £4 on the 82/83/180 and 184 to get to oldham.
