In europe cities the size of brum and manchester
generally have a tram system AND a proper metro but until the 90s they didn't
even have the trams and nottingham only gots its tram 10 or so years ago! This
is a shameful indictment of UK public transport policy by all governments.

And despite the cries of anguish from the Manchester area, London
farepayers contribute half the cost of running Northern Rail. A massive
subsidy for which they don't appear to be the slightest bit grateful.
