First its going to be city centre to the station, then to Walsgrave Hospital via Ball Hill and then to Anstey Park via Binley where it will link up with the Walsgrave section, then I think theres a Tile Hill bit too. I am looking forward to seeing it for myself.

    There were,trolley cars,invented by Mr. Robinson,that were three axle cars,that had independent wheels on the center axle! They were operated in Amsterdam,among other places! So the basic idea isn't new,and there are cars operated in Boston[US],that have their center body on 4 independent axles! Initially,there were troubles with derailments,but those bugs got ironed out! Anyway,hopefully the data,might be of use!! Thank you 😇😊!

      As Tramway Speed Limit signs are a diamond shape rather than circular, there's no risk of them being misinterpreted as Road Vehicle Speed Limits - all UK tramways already use the signs, including on shared alignments And, as per DfT regulation, the speeds are shown in kph (except Manchester & Sheffield): uktram.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/TGN32-Signing_of_Tramways_2.pdf

      The plan is to future proof the whole line from Wednesbury to Brierley Hill for possible return of freight which is why the VLR track is laid to one side to allow single line freight to resume. I have no idea how that will work on the part of the line which will be used for the West Midlands Metro.

    Impressive acceleration. I did not hear any flange squeal on the 15m radius loop. Are the wheels on each axle free turning rather than solidly fixed? The concept looks very good and will hopefully be a commercial success, provided that the design is not compromised by too many "expert" committees.
