Mattenmurg Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I hope Mr Pope is glad of the attention. He *knows* about us, but will he ever come on here and 'talk' to us? This man is a local legend! I think we should start a fan page on Facebook. Shame we son't have any conclusive evidence on his appearance - we'll have to knock uo an e-fit. Heehee. Ohmyword: I've recently been quite excited but the change in ticket colour to green. Nice colour I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohmyword: I've recently been quite excited but the change in ticket colour to green. Nice colour I think. Yes! I'd definitely join it. Are you going to make it Matt? Yeah, the ticket colour change - I don't like it actually. Why do you like it? I don't. I preferred it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmyword Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well, no new voices this year. I'm a bit glum. Any sightings of the Pope recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 In the early days of the tram, wasn't there a time when the drivers did the announcing themselves? I seem to remember one driver who was clearly incredibly fed-up when he was calling out the tram stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmyword Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 re post 436 by vagueboy yes the drivers did do the announcing themselves - but not always for every stop This sounds like the Manchester Metrolink. I went on it a few days ago - it is RUBBISH! Nowhere near as good as our beloved Supertram. The Manchester Metrolink drivers did really substandard announcements in their annoying Mancunian nasal whine. Half of the route was out of order anyway. What a load of tripe! By the way, I've made a dance track about Stagecoach Supertram. I will make it available for a free download very soon! I LUV TRAM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 re post 436 by vagueboy yes the drivers did do the announcing themselves - but not always for every stop Cheers. I think this was at the time when the routes were still not completed, so the Blue Route driver would go as far as Gleadless Townend, then head back into town, so not much variety for them. No wonder he sounded fed-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
