@MmmmTrams @JamesHowitt4 @BrynleyHeaven @FinancialTimes hello. Making it an extension of yre tram network is arguably the most expensive option because of the cost of replacing the track and double tracking the whole line, as well as the cost of putting up overhead electric wires for the trams. heavy rail is by far the cheapest option

@bradleighscott yes :)

Builder's plates from M51937, cleaned up and being kept in a safe place ready for painting and eventual refitting. We don't have M56484's plates as unfortunately they were stolen(?) during its stay at butterley.
