To be fair the train was slow on the Oldham loop

I think time just flows more slowly through Oldham ;-) One good thing back then, it had toilets on the trains. 55 mins is a looooong time on the tram after a session :D

Not just disparate, but also desperate.
The first question the gov should be asked is: "On what date will you announce the cancellation of these plans?"

Lol. How many times has Manchester to Leeds electrification been announced? Only to be cancelled? It’s a joke. 65 mins to do 40 miles…

Complete joke. Reading to London is exactly the same distance and takes 24 minutes

Cologne to Düsseldorf is 62 miles and 21 minutes by train. This country’s transport system makes us a laughing stock.

Yes but why the rush? I like a nice little drink on the train. Make's it a good day out!

can we just not get rid of the metrolink?

its shocking

Tram - Manchester Piccadilly to Manchester Airport / One hour one minute / £4.60
Train - Manchester Piccadilly to Manchester Airport / 16 minutes / £3.50.

You can get to Liverpool in half the time from Victoria.

I've said it so many times it's just a vanity project. For moving people around the city and suburbs it's expensive and rubbish.

I think it’s about 25 miles from Cologne to Dusseldorf but I take your point. I might be wrong though.
