When they were first introduced they used the previously train route of Bury-Victoria so the doors had to be high to reach the platforms of the stations.
There is a reason for that. When the tram lines were first built they used a combination of old railway outside of the city centre and new lines across the city centre. The railway stations had high platforms and it was easier have trams with high doors than rebuild all the old platforms. The new trams stops in town were built high to be in line with the doors.
The whole central portion should have been put in tunnel from the start IMO. Why does Britain waste billions duplicating and triplicating infrastructure in London and spend almost nothing on the provinces? For the costs of the unnecessary Crossrail line proper Metro networks could have been built in Bristol, Leeds, Birmingham and Edinburgh. Woeful.
Have you been on the central line during peak hours? It’s almost dangerously packed and it gets so hot. I under the frustration but there’s enough money for everyone if only the gov would actually prove it and invest for once.
Not much on here about all the bad language ,trouble ,and fighting that happens on these journeys ,ive stopped using them ,the manchester to eccles line ,their was always something or other going on
These manc ones are horribly squeaky and creaky. I hope the tracks don't pass by homes at Nottingham NET does. Residents would go loopy at that headachy noise, this would be better muted with a musical soundtrack imo
Gena F We have quiet similar Bombardier cars in Frankfurt, running through a residential area. There for all weels are now equiped with noise absorbers. This works great. In addition some narrow curves have integrated sprinklers which spray a lubricant on the rails to prevent these unpleasant high frequent noises.
@@birdyedits4051 I've been on both, Its hard to choose between one cos Nottingham and Manchester have nice trams, but in terms of the size of Network Manchester wins easy. I'm biased so I prefer Manchester but Nottingham is nice too.

Nice light rail system!! Better than smelly buses.😀😀💙
Where is the T68 trams?
It’s much better than diesel buses
same type of light rail-vehicles as the Stadtbahn Köln?
The ones in Cologne? Yes
Well they are the K5000s which are slightly different
@@Baloongis2 Yeah, maybe... the K5000s in Cologne have folding steps.
Interseting trams. Evidently one must get on or off at the designated high level platforms.

door located high.
in my opinion.

Very noisy within the city.

Du jaune ! Quelle couleur horrible...
Moi, j'aime bien. Ils sont plutôt de couleur argent et jaunes. Les trams à Budapest sont beaucoup plus jaunes.
