Now Cornbrook is one of those tram stops most of us just pass through, or because it is a switching point for a number of services, the place you might use to make a change.
In winter it can be an inhospitable spot with the wind cutting through you.
But it is also the stop that I have often pondered on, not least because of the location of the entrance.
Not that I have ever fallen prey to the adventure of finding out.
But Andy Robertson, did just that recently, and in the process discovered that the entrance is having a make over.
And I am indebted to him, because it is just the sort of pictures that will feature in our new tram book later in the year.
Which in turn might well provoke a tranche of stories.
As it was, as soon as I showed Andy this story, he nodded, thanked me, and took advantage of that extra hour created by the clocks going back and wandered off back to Cornbrook and the entrance to the Metro.
In the space of just over 24 hours the Metro chaps had been busy and completed the sides of the entrance.
And not wanting to short change them or Andy's early morning efforts, here is his latest picture.
