Trams return to streets of Birmingham

RailNews.co.uk -The first tram in public service since 1953 ran on the streets of Birmingham today. The inaugural tram broke a banner to celebrate the opening of the new section of line from Snow Hill station to Bull Street. Today's opening is only the start, because trams are set to continue soon onwards from Bull Street to New Street station. However, the 128 million project to bring Midland Metro services to New Street is running behind schedule, because they should have arrived in September
