Manchester Metrolink

好像沒什麼好稀奇的。不過我沒坐過這種輕鐵，所以特地花了一點小錢來體驗一下。不過這段時間去的真不巧。因為軌道處處封閉都在維修。不是想去哪裡就可以去的。至於上了電車後我搭到哪裡去哩？下篇將會揭曉。不過，大家要不要來猜猜看呢？你們絕對想不到的。呵呵。

I guess it's not that big a deal.  But seeing that I had never been on a tram, it was still an experience waiting for me to try out.  It wasn't the best time to experience the tram, as certain stops were closed down.  The places I could get to was very limited.  Speaking of that, I'd like you to see if you can guess where I went on the tram.  My guess is that you'll probably never guess it.

曼撤斯特輕鐵最初建造計畫差不多在70至80年代開始。最後到了1992年七月，終於由伊麗莎白女王親自駕臨開幕儀式。整個路網在經過多次修改之後，目前約23哩長，並一共有37站。目前改造的工程其中包含了擴展到曼撤斯特機場的路線。相信完工之後會帶給當地民眾以及旅客不少旅程上的方便。

The planning of Manchester Metrolink first began in the 1970's and 80's.  The openning was finally witnessed by Elizabeth II in July, 1992. After different phases of reconstruction and expanding, the whole network runs 23 miles long, and consists of 37 stops.  The extension work currently undergoing includes a route to Manchester Airport, which would definitely save a lot of time and trouble for travelers.



整個過程還挺舒適的。車廂內清潔度也不錯。如果當時沒有某些路線被封閉的話，其實以這樣的方式來看看曼城景色也是挺不錯的呢。

The whole process was quite enjoyable.  The cars were relatively clean as well.  If it hadn't been for the closing down of a certain area, this would have been a nice way to go all around Manchester.

天仙念：想要猜猜看我去了哪，可以點這裡看看停靠哪些站。提示：我自己也很不敢相信我真的去了那個地方。
