Gosh they sound quite loud - I'm afraid they kept me awake! ;)

They do sound quite loud in this video but when you're there, with the other street sounds, you don't really notice them. That's why they have to peep their horn so much when they're running through the city centre, people seemingly don't hear them 🙄

I haven’t been on the Sheffield Supertram and the Class 399 Tram-train. But I have been on the Tramlink in South London.

In street scenes, the high doors look kind of odd. (At least to me, maybe if you're used to this it looks perfectly normal.)

It's almost nostalgic to see Manchester again. I used to stay there a lot. When they were putting the new line through Exchange Square, I saw a pile of tram rails at the side of the works by the excavations for the new track. It was like archaeological strata. You had the current road surface, on top of some rubble foundation and below that the original cobbled street complete with original tram rails last used about 1948. It was these that were being removed and piled at the side.

I really liked these trams. I used them when I visited the Manchester festival some years ago, to see Kenneth Branagh in Macbeth. It was great that Kenneth was the voice of the announcements on some of the stations while the festival happened!

Even on Metrolink, there are stops that have closed since the opening of the first line. See, I can be an anorak if needs be.

LeviNZ wishes to commend The Jagomeister for the two videos tonight ( 30-9-23 ) While staying a while with our son+d in law in Macclesfield we took a day to go into town ( Manchester) and sample the delights of the much smaller network then,, Aug 2006. The older model teal blue tram sets whisked us along to Bury, Eccles ( but not a cake to be seen...) and Altrincham. I was impressed with the speed on the Busy line, as it kept the rust off the former train-rails. Would dearly like to be able to try out the much expanded network but short of winning at least 2nd division on Lotto, that ain't not going to happen, two lots of 12 hour flights via Japan notwithstanding.

What's that amazing tunnel shown at the start of this video? It makes me think of a council-run leisure-centre just for trams.

Victoria Station canopy is rather impressive. However, just wait for the disruption when it comes time to replace worn out rails in the street surface. See also Picadilly Gardens and Mosley Street.

Good to see they went with level boarding. So many (most?) US and Canadian Light Rail systems do not have that. Trains in the clip are quite loud!

This one and the others Jago has entertained us with are all running well. Ottawa light rail is off the tracks again.

It begs a question. If a tram can go with level boarding, what's with the humps on London Underground? Why do they want most of the platform to be the wrong height?

@@telhudson863 I think the answer to that is that when the Underground was built, the infirm were not catered for. It is only in recent times that their needs have been addressed. Although Metrolink was built on former heavy rail routes, a lot of the stations are new construction so level boarding was in from the beginning. It would have been much less expensive to make the remaining stations level boarding than it would for the Underground. The humps are probably the best solution to the problem. Not ideal, but available. That's my thoughts anyway.

Love to go to Manchester just to ride on the Manchester Metrolink. You might as well do Birmingham, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Sheffield, Blackpool, Croydon and Dublin.

Blackpool trams are great! The best way to do the illuminations is by heritage illuminated tram. Last year I went all the way to Fleetwood on a tram, just because I could 😂
