About 80 years ago removing the old tram rails from the E.P 17/02/1936 They didn't do a very good job. You can still see remains of old tram tracks in the road outside Parliament Street Garage. https://goo.gl/maps/6EKwyR6CjW92 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,782 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Until Bulwell Depot was demolished the old tram tracks in the depot up to the roadside were still intact, no point ripping them out if they aren't on the highway ! Serves no useful purpose at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's because they love them more than you do. And when they've finished they ride home on the tram. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 If folks like the tram so much they won't mind paying the full cost of it will they, then I won't be paying for them to travel. Why should I have to subsidise their travel costs no one helps pay for mine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that is what the road fund license (road tax) was for, plus the tax on petrol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 5,345 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I don't think car tax and petrol tax go specifically towards roads. They just go into the giant melting pot of taxation to be used and squandered as necessary. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
