Almost Death By Tram
 
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:

Thankfully, we don't have them here.

Ross 13-11-2008 07:13 PM

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

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 13-11-2008 07:30 PM

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

Ross 13-11-2008 07:31 PM

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:

Ah yeah. They fine you a hefty amount though, so you don't want to get caught.

Gemmer-x 13-11-2008 07:35 PM

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 13-11-2008 07:40 PM
