The emphasis on rebuilding tram networks on railway lines and bus routes since 1980, with Manchester leading the way, has been a disastrous diversion from rebuilding our unused and partly used railway lines.
Since Manchester's unfortunate lead with trams instead of trains and buses rebuilt and modernised and made fit for a response to lessening rather than increasing Climate problems, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have increased even faster, road congestion and pollution has worsened and we have seen no growth in car commuters leaving their cars at home and using a worsened bus and railway provision.
We must get our priorities sorted in the ways I've been arguing for over the decades.
