Why yes of course.
Firstly, the over head wires have been replaced on the Manchester to Altrincham section, the track has been replaced in the city centre and has generally disrupted everything, and Stations are being repainted. There is soon going to be a livery change for the trams and there are new trams on the way. The design of the latter was on display at MOSI's Great garratt gathering. You right I don't approve of some of the changes. Here's why.

The original railway was the manchester, south junction and Altrincham railway, and since the lines conversion, much of the original infastructure had been replaced. The buffers at Altrincham were survivors from BR days, along with some of the track at the station as the trams are standard gauge.
Much of this infastructure is now being destroyed and I want to save what is left. At the old wawrick road (now Old trafford or trafford bar) the original platforms one and two survive, but in an overgrown state and now only platforms three and four are used.

I just want to save these things before it is too late.
