On the right side of the (Tram) tracks

Being brought up on the Fylde coast, famous for its trams, I’ve always loved them as a means of transport. So yesterday I chose to travel by tram from the centre of Birmingham out to the suburbs. Although it was exciting in principle, in reality it was like travelling on a train as most of the journey was on tracks running parallel to the train line.  The extension from Snow Hill Station to New Street hasn’t been completed yet so I’ll have to wait for a couple of years to enjoy experience of the gliding smoothly through the city centre.
