why is it people get so excited when a metrolink tram breaks down? Big deal Train faults are much more frequent yet you don't see every single one being reported, likely there would be no room for any other news if they were all reported by the MEN.

Its because of all this negative publicity that TfGM are now wasting money replacing trams which are only 20 years old, madness when you look at how long Blackpool's heritage trams have lasted.

The solution however is quite simple and that is to step up the maintenance regime and all would be solved.
