Really? xD On the top pic there is a massive two land road and tram track, on the bottom is a single lane road and a tram track, lol, plus it's got cobbles and looks sunnier :flower:

Oh, and this monstrosity lmao

You can't tell which bits road and which bits path :( Sadly (going on experience) people who don't know Blackpool will drive straight onto the tracks/path.

Piccadily Gardens in Manchester is insane, you have mums throwing prams infront of trams expecting them to stop

driving in sheffield is terrifying if your not used to it the tramlines are in the road you need eyes on stalks to look out for them!

Terrible in rain. Especially if both sets of tires hit them. The lines take you :shocked: The number of times I've been a passenger and yelled "Get off the lines!!!!!!!" The trick is to drive with one set down the middle (if that makes sense)
