In the early 19th century we were using tramways to bring coal and slate out to their destinations.
Then railways were introduced. In the 20th century, we began converting our railways into tramways. History in reverse!
My puny efforts to get passenger trains and stations reinstated on 38 miles of existing, double track rail lines in Birmingham and the Black Country. Some, such as the Stourbridge, Dudley, Walsall rail line has its middle section reserved for trams that forever prevent passenger trains returning.
