    Legitimately want to hear your thoughts on the video!
    You can probably spot my slow hobble - this was filmed about 3 weeks ago when walking was still a bit slow!

    "I think the blue ones play there" Best line. Really enjoyed this, more of this please. Re Frank Sidebottom, see John Ronsons book.

    Nice video, good this southerner (but definitely *not* Londoner!) to learn more about Metrolink. Plus, I believe there's a section of the Nottingham tram where a twin track heavy rail was singled, with the tram taking over the other line..

      you would be correct it shares as far as Hucknall to Bullwell, and the supertram in sheffeild shares rail with the tramtrain,

    I nearly spat my coffee out when you said 'I think the blue ones play there'... glad to hear the 'wibbly wobbly' music again, but hope you're back up to speed soon!

    Suns out, Jens out! hope the recovery is still going well.
    Cornbrook - also the home of sideways rain.
    Stretford - lol, the Royson Vasey of the West !
    Dane Road - does it even exist? Heard it only appears on the 29th Feb, if there is a full moon...
    Can't wait for the Trafford Park Line, as between the IWM & Village lies the other mythical Tram Stop of Weatherfield :)

    Love it - always like to see some Metrolink coverage, and it's been due an "all the stations"!
    Hope your speed's slowly improving, and getting out & about is easier now!

      Massively improved mobility since this was recorded!

    you missed visiting Franks statue nice to see navigation again, took a train from here once or twice to get to the Arndale. used metrolink once to get to and from the center, very wobbly track as i recall.

    I'm curious about costs...is there some equivalent of a travelcard or rover or day pass for the whole metrolink system?
    Frank Sidebottom recognition is down to age I think and as I'm a southerner and recall the big cartoon headed character on TV at times

    Manchester does have the best accents. But more so it has its own Manchester Metrolink which covers all around Greater Manchester. And I would like to visit Manchester one day and to ride on the Metrolink. Very nice. ☺️

    Liking the new format, but I was noticing that the music seemed louder than your normal speech and your voiceover, which was a bit jarring. Keep it up though!
