I would like to mention the basics of a Liverpool tram line, which opened in 1915, and a modern tram system are the same.

Croydon plans a feasibility study to look into extensions.

Nottingham is building a tram system which is due to open in 2003.

Hampshire plans to build a tram tunnel under Portsmouth Harbour in two years.
