Back on the gneral topic, I think they have a frieght tram at Blackpool but not in service. Its a shame that they are going to modernise the line, poor taste if you ask me.  |
For a freight tram to work, you first need freight to carry.
Metrolink serves little use in this function since there isn't really anything that needs to get from A to B on the network except people.
