With regard to the Nottingham Tram. I use it a lot and I think it is superb.
£2.40p(at the moment) buys you a car parking space, a return ticket on the tram and bus rides in the city centre.
Plans to extend the system have just been given the go ahead and I think compulsory purchases of buildings in the way are in motion now. Someone may be able to confirm that.
I have friends in Portsmouth who have just had a similar system cancelled in their city and they think our trams are brilliant.
I still think that we should be going wholesale into these systems for cities. Mind you that would spoil the councils road pricing schemes, that we all know are rushing towards us over the horizon.
Oaul.
