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.

I don't think that subsidy contributes much to services in Northern cities
either.

Only half the fares basket.
