IMAGES OF PADUA TRANSLOHR LAST WEEK

today's assortment of images in Italy were taken in the lovely town of Padua where the Translohr system runs on reserve power through the most sensitive parts of the city with pantographs down. Not everyones cup of tea, neither beast nor fowl as we say in English, I suppose its more a tram on the cheap. Not the smoothest of rides but I really recommend this as a location and free of tourists.
Last night we were at the Halle in Manchester for the first night of the new season with Marker elder at the baton as usual, it was a night also for children to come along who are taking part in workshops with the orchestra ( three schools from Rochdale) A top evening with a mix of Smetana, Brahms and Dvorak. The weather for Showbus on Sunday looks slightly damp which is a blow as originally it was forecast to be dry, Blackpool on Saturday for vintage car running still looks mix of sun and cloud.
