After

Looks quite good actually...though the traffic will be massive in the illuminations with it being one lane each way lol

Jords 18-06-2011 02:01 AM

I like the colour before.

Scarlett. 18-06-2011 02:02 AM

The picture isn't from the same area, it's the road that's changed lol

King Gizzard 18-06-2011 02:09 AM

Can't really notice any difference

Shaun 18-06-2011 02:12 AM

I'm confused LOL, they're two totally different shots

King Gizzard 18-06-2011 02:20 AM

Yeah :S

Scarlett. 18-06-2011 02:20 AM

Lol I be needing a better picture...basically the pavements are now bigger than the roads, and the road is cobbled :p

Scarlett. 18-06-2011 02:23 AM

Added a much better pic

King Gizzard 18-06-2011 02:25 AM

I still don't see much notable difference lol

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.

Kerry 09-08-2011 02:54 AM

Oh and by experience I mean I live somewhere with a tram system. I don't drive!

Sheffield

ILoveTRW 09-08-2011 03:20 AM

oh never really been to Sheffield, once or twice to Meadowhall but thats it.
Piccadily Gardens in Manchester is insane, you have mums throwing prams infront of trams expecting them to stop

Jords 09-08-2011 03:21 AM

Sheffield :love:

Kerry 09-08-2011 03:21 AM

Ours have fog horns. You have no choice but to shift cos you jump 6 foot in the air

billy123 09-08-2011 03:28 AM

Blackpool looks great now im a big fan of the place and it needed a bit of TLC i was there a couple of weeks ago and the golden mile still has all its character and is looking good just need to get that scaffolding off the tower.

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!

Kerry 09-08-2011 03:30 AM

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)
