Four trams, forty-four pictures, and eighty-eight minutes …………..

The plan was simple ……… take the tram from Cornbrook into the heart of the Quays, get off at each stop, record the developments and changes, and you have a new project.

In all Andy clocked forty-four pictures, in just eighty-eight minutes having travelled on four trams.

And finally he arrived, and not wanting to miss anything he wandered through the area.

Having wandered  around Cornbrook, Andy moved on and quickly came across the new tram line which in the fullness of time will run in to Trafford Centre.

Four trams, forty-four pictures, and eighty-eight minutes ………….. starting the adventure at Cornbrook

The plan was simple ……… take the tram from Cornbrook into the heart of the Quays, get off at each stop, record the developments and changes, and you have a new project.

Now Cornbrrok could well be renamed the "windy stop" and there is no denying that on a cold February morning waiting for a tram can be uncomfortable.

And more than once I have seen people looking to shelter in front of the big sign or in desperation huddle behind a group of fellow passengers.

But that said the platform affords some fine views which are constantly changing.

The plan was simple ……… take the tram from Cornbrook into the heart of the Quays, get off at each stop, record the developments and changes, and you have a new project.

So over the next brace of days I shall be taking that journey courtesy of Andy Robertson, who travelled the rails yesterday.
