that makes sense obviously, I just hope that those trams terminate at Piccadilly and then you have to change rather than continue into the city centre, because then they'll have to cut the number of other trams coming into the city. I'm sure there's now less Alty trams than there used to be before the Eccles line was built. Should've just had them terminate at Cornbrook and made people get on an Altrincham tram tbh.

Yup hate Ashton aswell, loved it when I was 18 and went Ashton Sixth Form but as you get a few years older it really does become a horrible place

going to try and remember which trams I've been on from now on, see if I can do them all, especially Salford Lads Club.

Shame it's not got the full list, I'm sure there's a Sir Alex Ferguson tram, and an Anthony H. Wilson one.

On 15 July 2007 Stagecoach took over as the Metrolink operator from Serco.

didn't know that at all. I'm sure the Serco signs are still all over the place.

aye they are, rather strange.

Yeah they should extend it to Stockport instead of making people catch the 192. Thats why Stockport Road is always jam packed during rush hour. All the buses going through longsight and levenshulme and being forced on to one lane of traffic.

That's very misleading - most of the beer drunk in Prague is by British stag parties!
I honestly don't know where Germans and Austrians get their reputation for being heavy drinkers from - I regularly visit friends there and I have never encountered a native big drinker. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Sure

Why did you truncate my post, thus changing the context, only to "roll your eyes" at it?

Would you care to expand your reply into a coherent criticism?

Or are you really as rude as that reply makes you seem?

Sorry if you feel I'm acting 'out of order',
but rudeness (especially to strangers) is a pet hate of mine,
and my patience had been tested by the slowness of the board,
so perhaps I reacted a little hastily?
