thanks for info on media city tram,any idea what the frequency will be on the oldham,chorlton,droylsden lines?

Just a bit of advice on the trams point of view.
Don't eat or try to eat a yogurt on board.
It is not a good idea.
When the new trams enter service, I think I shall test them out for myself in such a way.

Oh and the frequency on the oldham loop will most likely be very high.
There was 4 trains an hour in each direction, so light rail will be much more frequent.
I would think something like the altrincham line would be a good example, a similar thing happened here in the 90's.

Haha, cause of the wobbling around on the higher speed sections? :D

Try that Activia yogurt. It's supposed to improve transit.:D

:DOh very funny!
I tried it on the east lancs railway that same day as a comparison.
Don't worry pavorossi, I didn't spill any!

Glad to hear it, I shall have to pathe compliment on to myfriend in P-Way!

Oh forgot to mention, the coaches are beautifully maintained at the east lancs, so well done there.
The yogurt was yeo valley as well; very messy brand!

I'm glad you think so, it's always good to hear a compliment about the line.

A few jottings from today's visit that are relevant to this thread

1. the Cornbrook turnback is only partially installed (some rails missing)

2. the Media City spur has rails down (at the junction anyway) and seems to be a traingle i.e. you can go direct from there to Eccles

3. there were 5 new trams in the depot. Livery didn't look as bad in the flesh as I was expecting - but I didn't see them close up, of course

I was going to go as I said, but then it rained, so I stayed at home, well done for braving the weather!
