Hi all.Sorry not to post this in the "general" section, but that seems to be a US dominated forum. Last time I checked it, it had turned into the George W Bush fansite.This interactive guide may be interesting.http://www.bbc.co.uk/nottingham/features/2004/03/tram_index.shtmlCheersPaul

What a sweet little present for some body looking for a route to do. Complete with a cab ride video, pictures and some sounds. Get permission to use and your summer days are filled, and with the tighter curves in bve 2.6.2, you can get real close to real route lay out with this one. Thanks for the heads up.

A bit more off topic but :
Good old Auntie! (BBC for non-British users!). Where did this name come from and / or why? I see it all the time when reading UK papers or web sites, sometimes used nicely some times not.

HiI do not know the origin, but it is very old. It is because the BBC is often seen as being a benign but rather paternal broadcaster. It's remit is to "enlighten, entertain and inform".This means that has a strong public service remit. It is supposed to be kindly, and wise, but can be a bit patronising and stiff - much like an elderly Aunt. Most Brits like the BBC service but don't want to pay for it with a TV licence...typical attitude.Paul
