Can't see that happening myself. It would cost a fortune not just to build
the new section but to convert the entire line to OHLE and no doubt 'Elf N
Softies would stick their ore in about that. And thats before they have to
find the trams from somewhere. I doubt there are many scrap value 70 year old
trams for cheap sale like their were tube trains
