Er...yes. I forgot about the Snow Hill to Wolverhampton tram system. As it traverses the streets of Wolverhampton it IS a tram network, but the reason I forgot it is because the majority of the system is on the old ex-GWR line that used to run between Snow Hill and Wolverhampton Low Level. If it had ALL been on old line, I would have described it as a Light Railway. However, they ARE trams, whether they are on the street or on reserved track. Thanks for reminding me.

Didn't Bristol have trams 100-odd years ago? I think I saw a photo of trams in Bristol negociating a tight curve that necessitated single line working on the curve.
