Almost Death By Tram

[Tom]

Who else has just been quietly walking along when a tram just comes out of nowhere and nearly kills you, then you have to sprint out of the way and by doing that you end up in front of a bus? :mad::joker:

It happens to me ALL THE TIME in Manchester City Centre. I know not all cities have them but I know some do like Birmingham.

So who else has almost come victim to a tram? :joker:

[Novo]

in new brighton yes

>.<

[Locke.]

Thankfully, we don't have them here.

[Ross]

Never heard of a tram...
I have buses though.

They're kind of like trains but a lot of the tracks are on the street and you can walk across them, drive on them etc

I know, they're the most ugliest things EVER so if you did get hit by one it would be like getting hit by a sh*t car

[Sarah.]

Haha, do they seriously look like that? They're so fast though! No one even pays, we all just hop on for free. They never have ticket inspectors.

Here's a London one:

London ones look better, but yep the Manc ones do look like that. Theres one at the start of Corrie in the opening titles but that isn't a real track.

People here don't pay either. There are only ticket inspectors when they go onto the train tracks so you can get around town for free, just not if you're going somewhere proper

[Lauren]

We don't have trams here, so no.
Whenever I've been in Manchester I've managed to avoid them too, hahah.

[Ross]

I want a tram.
I don't think it'd be as cool though me going throw a tram in a field with sheep :sad:

Just wait, one day you'll just be happily walking along then you'll hear BEEP and a tram hurtling towards you at about 30mph, then you'll get out of its way but now you're on a road with traffic coming at you from all directions :joker:

[Ninastar]

If you stand on the bit on the road does it electricute you? Well a stacic shoc or anything ?
