A new Victorian view

A new Victorian view
A rare visit to the city gives us a view from Victoria Railway station in Manchester showing us part of the new tramway concourse. Just two things of note to be seen here – one is a lone Manchester Bee, one of a few that are still dotted around the city centre and the other is the tram itself. For those that are interested it’s the Metrolink No. 3121 on its way to Manchester Airport via Market Street.
Some interesting line connectivity here! Remember we drive on the left here so this tram is heading away from the station having taken the shortest route but the return tram would do a big swing out on a longer detour. I wonder why they designed it like that ?

Nice full screen, enjoy the day.

See next photo for more bees!

Love the bee Herb :-) I also love a tram! We don't have enough of them in this country. Always enjoyed them in Blackpool. I have never been to Manchester so appreciate your picture and information. A very interesting shot.
Have a good new week. Cheers, Rosa.

Hi Rosa - yes Manchester can be quite good with many places of interest. Glad you found the bee on here. Maybe a trip to my part of the country is needed then you might see Manchester too.

Best Wishes. Herb

A great detail shot Herb...........with lots to look at. Nicely exposed too.

I don't seem to be able to see the bee large, no idea why, so I can't really comment on it.

Hi Keith -glad you saw the detail on this. I knew where the bee was and could see it on here, especially on full screen and so I simply put a text note over that. I have a few photos of the giant bees themselves all taken on a Manchester trip when those bees were everywhere. Maybe I should put one on here too? Sorry you missed it.

Regards. Herb

Update: see next photo for more bees.

Difficult to say what I like better: the photo or the title. So I'll just say that both are equally good :-)

Interesting to see this. I just checked and it’s 11 years since I was in the City Centre quite a contrast from the previous 50 years man and boy.
