The gang-car is to do the safety-run & put out the signs each day so that tram #29 has less to do - it really needs a full rebuild after 20 yrs running. |
Tramtrack by Bristol Temple Meads station - still there to admire when taking a drink before a journey!

As can be seen from this view it is a very settp short run. When we went to find it at the bottom station, it was cut off due to road works and about 1km to walk around! |
Frank Bagshaw has been to Dudley to see the work being carried out on the Midland Metro extension to Dudley and beyond.
Site of the Dudley terminus - just temporary until the next extension to Brierley Hill |
Trams will leave the hill past Dudley Castle and turn right into Birmingham Street on their way to the bus stn/tram interchange |
This is the new tramstop for Tipton being constructed on the formation of the old railway line. |

3062 and the broken rail at Victoria (close up) |
Leeds 180, Blackpool 40 and 630 were the service cars. 298 is in the workshop with work having started on its rebuild. It is not in the best place to take pictures but I attach the best I could manage.
