The wiring wasn't finished yesterday, with bits missing and the northbound line still held on by temporary pulleys. How on earth will they get it finished, tested and in use by a week Sunday, the opening date to Upper Bull St announced by Centro?

How good of HRH to choose a brolly and a coat to match the livery of the tram. I wonder if Harrod's calls the colour 'Midland Metro Pink'!
Harrods?!?  Far too down market for Her Maj...

Would've thought the Royals boycotted Harrods, because of who the owner is?

No he didn't, there was loads of publicity in 2010 when it happened.

It is still on the Daily Mail's website from 2010 along with many others

I think I saw them testing the overhead wire on Corporation Street about 1ish this afternoon they were outside House of Fraser. Had 2 hooks attached to poles hooked over the main (live) cables did wonder why they were doing it for?

In fact that's me on the left, talking to the man in a woolly hat. (That's Barry Ware, who rescued Birmingham COG5 1107 from the scrapyard.)
