When I moved here 7 years ago there were notices at Salford Crescent letting commuters know that Soon! There! Would! Be! Trams! In! Rochdale! or something equally effusive and excessively punctuated.
Those notices are long gone in exchange for ones telling us doors close 30 seconds early (hahahahaha) and be careful when the platform is wet.
Where or where did Rochdale and Oldham's trams go?
METROLINK remains the vital missing link in Oldham’s regeneration jigsaw – with no end in sight to the delays that have dogged the project since inception.
The Oldham Beyond report of 2004 hailed the light-rail network as having the potential to turn the town "into a 21st century success story".
But although today’s ‘1000 Days’ report cites progress in submissions for funding, there is still no firm timetable for even the first piece of track to be laid.
There we go then.
Oldham Advertiser: So where are those trams?
