Obligatory pic of a Melbourne tram.

#tram #trams #lightrail #melbourne #naarm

A small white and green two bogie, three (or six) door tram rolls through the street of Melbourne on a sunny day, the greenery of the botanical gardens fills the background. The tram is new enough to be metal bodied, yet old enough to have folding doors, with a typical pantograph picking up power from the overhead line. Tram tracks criss cross the road, as tracks go to and from various areas toward the city centre.

Greater #Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has outlined a step-by-step plan to bring rail services into the Bee Network from December 2026, creating an integrated #transport system across trains, #trams, and #buses. The first two lines, connecting Manchester to Glossop and Stalybridge, will feature station upgrades, contactless ticketing, and step-free access improvements. Over the next years, eight rail lines will join the network, with new pre-pay tickets, simpler fares, and enhanced travel information. The programme also includes transport-led regeneration schemes to boost local economies, jobs, and housing.

Great thing about this time of the year - the number of people catching trams to work in the morning starts to subside. I'm off to Docklands Library and the stop isn't nearly as crowded as usual. #Melbourne #tram #trams

The GCT on the cartouche at the bottom of this metal box at the top end of Byres Road indicates it's one of the few remaining parts of Glasgow's once extensive tram network. It would have provided an electrical connection to the overhead wires that powered them. The smaller box on top contained a telephone to allow the driver or the conductor to check in with the tram depot.

Back before it was easy to reproduce photographs in newspapers and magazines, artisans used to engrave pictures on blocks of wood for printing purposes. Here's a nice engraving of Hunter Street, Newcastle, in 1896 with a couple of steam trams. The old AA Company bridge that carried coal over the road to the harbour is in the background.

Greater #Manchester has unveiled a 30-year rail vision to transform its network, double passenger numbers, support 75,000 new #homes, and unlock £90bn in regional #economic growth. Announced by Mayor Andy Burnham, the plan addresses overcrowding, reliability, and accessibility, introducing simpler rail fares from 7 December and preparing local services to join the Bee Network from 2026. Proposals include new stations such as Golborne and Cheadle, step-free access for half of all stations by 2040, and a major Manchester Piccadilly redevelopment. The vision also integrates #trains with Metrolink #trams, #buses, and active travel, boosts rail freight, and supports wider regeneration across Greater Manchester.

A schematic map of the Greater Manchester rail network. Dark lines represent rail lines connecting numerous stations like Manchester Piccadilly, Victoria, Oxford Road, and Salford Central. Thicker lines show key routes with annual passenger figures, such as 350k to/from Birmingham University and 1m to/from Liverpool Street. Yellow lines indicate Metrolink routes. A sidebar highlights key statistics: 3rd highest number of weekly weekday arrivals in the UK, 40 freight trains daily, 2/3 rail demand from Greater Manchester, 40m annual passenger trips to Manchester's central stations, 200 stations, 8 Metrolink lines, and 74m annual passenger entries/exits.A graphic detailing the "2050" vision for the Greater Manchester rail network. A central schematic map is surrounded by five hexagonal sections outlining strategic goals: Improving services across a growing network (15 minute or better frequencies); Quality stations to support growth (up to 75,000 homes delivered adjacent to the network); A seamless, safe, and accessible customer experience (at least 95% passenger satisfaction); and Strengthening our connections across the North, the UK, and internationally (doubling intercity trips by rail). The right-hand side describes the resulting benefits under three pillars: Creating Opportunities (e.g., social mobility, reliable services), Transforming Everyday Places (e.g., life, welcoming stations, supporting local centres), and Fuelling Long-Term Growth (e.g., supporting local businesses, delivering cleaner freight, reliable utilities).A page titled "Executive Summary: On the right track for growth: A 2050 Vision for the future of rail in Greater Manchester." The text discusses Greater Manchester's economic growth and productivity, the role of rail, and the constraints from the current network on passengers and businesses. It states that limited investment has led to delays and cancellations. The vision is underpinned by four pillars to unlock the outcomes: Expanding and improving services across a growing network (creating new high-frequency rail and Metrolink services, improving reliability, creating a carbon-neutral network); Ensuring quality stations and supporting growth in the heart of our communities (Bee Net work quality stations, making all stations accessible, enabling new developments); A seamless, safe, and accessible customer experience (modernising trains, next-generation ticketing, uniting the Bee Network experience); and Strengthening our connections beyond Greater Manchester, across the UK, and overseas (reducing intercity journey time, improving connections to global gateways, unlocking rail freight capacity).A page titled "Delivering our growth led Rail Vision" outlines the necessity for new working methods to realise the ambitious 2050 Vision, aiming to support the growth and prosperity of Greater Manchester, the Northern and UK economies. The diagram highlights shared challenges and aspirations between Greater Manchester and Rail Industry Partners. Greater Manchester's aspirations include increasing fare box revenue, maximising rail investment for regeneration, planning and delivering major capital investments efficiently, and realising environmental benefits of rail freight. Rail Industry Partners aspire to grow passenger numbers, integrate rail better with other transport modes like the Bee Network, secure investment in specific schemes, and operate rail services cost-effectively while improving passenger experience.

@digigeek I think part of it is the need to gain political capital by making these systems sound like 'the future'.

Of course, calling them trams would force us to recognise that ripping out the tram systems from all our cities was a mistake of epic proportions.

Fellow folks at the interest-intersection of "public transport" and "queer activism" (I know you're out there!): I had an idea for a t-shirt.

Do I print it? Or give up on graphic design and go back to backend programming where I belong?

T-shirt design: a sign in the typographic and graphical style of British road signs, showing the words 'Trams rights at all times' on a background in the blue/pink/white of the trans pride flag, with an outline of a tram whose pantograph is reshaped to resemble the trio of the masculine, feminine, and combined symbols used as a trans symbol.

If you put me in charge of WA's ill-gotten extra GST money I'd be gleefully spending it all on rebuilding a tram network across Perth. :)
