It was obviously inevitable that the old trams would eventually become extinct since the new Bombardier trams came onto the scene, but does anyone else feel that Metrolink could have chosen something a bit more appropriate to take over the old T68's?
I think the new Bombardier trams have a bad interior design. For example, there are hardly ANY seats compared to the old T68's. They feel too empty and like there is something missing. I was reading that they are ten tonnes lighter than the T68's so therefore mire economical, but surely they are only ten tonnes lighter because of the minimal interior.
Has anyone else got any views about Metrolink's new choice of tram?
I also wonder if there is anyone who will preserve a T68, since it's quite an icon of the north west.
