New Everton Stadium

[Eggs]

Usually they land over runcorn way I thought and take off a bit further south, although once I took off and backed round to the right, giving a great view of GP

So effectively a bus guided by paint.

Not really.... a bus can't carry 280+ people on a consistent path and swept volume. It could be a painted line, an embedded conductor or other guidance system. This is called a tram because it shares those key performance criteria with traditional steel wheel trams.

Ah see what you mean. Thought you meant the flights in and out of LPL

Not sure you'd be able to see much detail from cruising altitude.

Funnily enough, one right now would have a cracking view of all the stadiums in the city. So it does happen

That's what Colin Chong looks like? Let's just say that the mental picture I had of the fella was quite different.

Is it his rap name or something?

I regularly have spare tkts. If you want to have a final unobstructed view of GP, let me know.

Thanks mate. Much appreciated. I might take you up on that in the coming months.

Interesting on stadium move, personally would like to have a "first game of a season" than partway through a season.

He comes across OK.

Isn’t a trackless tram effectively a bus?

No, trackless trams are not buses (or trolley buses). They are being pioneered in China and are much bigger than buses, carrying 280+ passengers each. They have no track, nor overhead line, so have much lower capital costs than traditional trams, but with similar or better performance (around towns, due to rubber wheels), and far greater flexibility. They are battery powered, with charge topped up at some stops or the terminus. They are guided by painted lines on the road or a small conductor embedded in it, to give potential for autonomous running.

There has been a system spoken about for Liverpool (the Lime Line) connecting the whole waterfront, with a spine running through the city centre up to the "knowledge quarter". If segregated routes could be identified, I think this could really help to pull BMD into the city centre properly.

Small conductor you say? (Sorry I know he's driving).

Seriously though Tom it sounds like a cheap version, they do sound like guided buses. I fully support a Manchester style metrolink on that uses the tunnels and also goes along the dock road (between the Wapping and Waterloo tunnels) and hopefully on to Bramley Moore dock too. I don't think our red Metro Mayor has
any interest in this.

When we fly in from Dublin we get a great view of Goodison. I ignore the tin mine.

Looking forward to seeing BM.

Terracing going in on southwest corner.

Coming down Stanley Road after the match, the stadium looks immense - even larger than it appeared during all my other visits to or past the stadium.

 

[Victus]

Least we'll get a banger video tomorrow now.

My flight from Barcelona normally lands via Runcorn or Elsemere Port but last week took a more circuitous route and I was able to get this slightly blurred photo
