Did anyone see the Teletubbies a few weeks ago?
What have the Teletubbies got to do with trams you may ask. Well it would have educated a lot of people about travelling peacefully with your children!
One particular insert in this programme was about a child's father driving a tram in Manchester.
Apart from the partner and daughter do you know who else were passengers? A mother with children in a double buggy!
For those who don't want trams, you've probably got a car but what about people who like me don't want a car, or for those who cannot afford cars?
We travel by bus and trains and although many people offer to help us with our folded buggies and our children and bags, many people just watch us struggle by ourselves.
We wouldn't have to do this with trams. We could just wheel our children on . I'm only sorry my children will be walking by the time Tramlink is in operation.
I'd like the trams now please!

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
