The council have taken years to build a tram line from bull street to dale end, roughly 300m metres. I wouldn't rely on any so called council developments. Especially now they are uberskint.

Not the council is it? Though the trams were Centro and Combined Authority. I noticed today the stop at the top of the Broad street branch outside of Morrisons had been closed off with building material. So I don't know if the trams are going up there at the moment.

The city centre side of the ring road, off Summer Lane. Loads of cpo’s would be needed though.

Too much of an incline. If we are going to do that, might as well just buy all the land off Electric Avenue

We could rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we'd make it higher.

*winks at internal jukeboxes*

I was at least 15 before I realised that was about Brixton and not the road before the Leisure Centre.

I’m not sure the tram has much to do with the council, permission aside, especially financially.

It would be worth buying all the businesses then flattening them to build a new stadium with the address Villa Park, Electric Avenue, B6. The walk out tune would be a done deal. Forever.

As the kids say, I was today years old when I found out it wasn't the street in Brum.

Opposite for me, I only discovered today that there's a street in Brum called Electric Avenue.

Out of interest who is responsible for the building/planning? It's shockingly poor.

The Midlands Metro Alliance are building it with various design, construction organisations as part of it. Ultimately it’s Street (WMCA) who’s responsible for getting it built by the  above and then running it via TfWM.

I still think the whole thing needs ripping up and retarmacing so they can run a fleet of buses on it. It seems to be broken more often than it isn't.

Anyway, that was really a post for elsewhere.

I sing that to my son every time we walk past it (usually when we’ve parked at Star City) and he always rolls his eyes at me, no doubt thinking I’m an absolute cock.

After years of deliberation (mostly on here) I think we have a winner. Electric Avenue by Eddie Grant would be a great walk out tune and also fitting.
