ROTHERHAM MONDAY 25 FEBRUARY 2019 - Frank Bagshaw

Frank Bagshaw was in Rotherham yesterday and finding there was a 40 delay until the next Tram Train back to Sheffield, he took the next Northern Rail service to Sheffield then caught a tram to cathedral and arrived 10 minutes before the delayed TT was due to leave Rotherham.

BIRMINGHAM PROGRESS ON 20 FEBRUARY 2019 - Martin Miller

I had a trip to Birmingham today anticipating more progress with the modest extension to Victoria Square but it does seem to be a long job! 

BLACKPOOL ON 10 FEBRUARY 2019 - Frank Bagshaw

After the Flexity; along  came a couple of Balloons on driver training.

New trackwork being installed at the Talbot Road extension onto the promenade.

Look what Frank found running on the promenade: Box 40. This tram is leaving Blackpool this year for a stint at Beamish before it returns to Crich for the 60th anniversary celebrations.

The Talbot Road extension will terminate by North Station, here the new tracks seem to go into the Wilko store which will be demolished to accommodate the crossover and terminus.
