Nice pictures Alec.

Is that first one as old as this one?

Good morning everyone
Yesterday I finally went for a trip to Bury from the new route
I was surprised that the trams were full with passengers standing this was at 11:25
The tram was bound for Rochdale
I got off at Manchester Victoria to change to the Bury service
Inspectors were out in force keeping a watchful eye on the services
One thing I learned speaking to an Inspector about the original T68 trams (which are being phased out) is that they seated more passengers
The Inspector said the new trams have less seating and more standing room
Returning home at 6:30pm the trams were less crowded
Kind regards Stephen
Ps I like the the comparison photos of Milnrow Alec and Gav

My "old"picture of Milnrow was not as old as yours, but I like it.
