No. I speak sense. Your comments don't correlate with any of the points I have made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However as a local I can upgrade my ENCTS pass for validity on the Metro for £12 a year. That has to be the bargain of the year. A non local such as your good selves you can upgrade for £24 a year. Also in July and August and between Xmas and new year the 9:30 start time Monday to Friday is waived. All in all a very satisfactory arrangement methinks. I keep wondering when we will get the new metro trains up here, they keep changing the dates. The seats on the existing trains are dirty probably because people put their feet on them. The latest date given when the new fleet of 46 trains will be in operation is the end of the year and early 2025. I hope the old trains can old out till then, they have been known to break down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl1 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I traveled on two yellow trams on Sunday and neither had a conductor between infirmary road and middlewood so I guess we don’t need to worry about tickets anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can also take the Conductor a fair while to reach everyone if the tram is crowded. I don't think I've ever seen a tram with no conductor.

Not in the back cab not in the front cab and not sitting down in the body of the tram. They would have been easily visible especially at middlewood. i feel privileged to have had an experience that has escaped you. the other day I met a conductor who had nipped off to the loo at middlewood and the tram left without her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
