Real time information etc. is a bit out of my skills for the moment though, although I'd need to look at the API's. Do Metrolink have a publicly available API for real time information or even timetabled services at the moment? I seem to remember something someone created that told you roughly where a tram should be at any particular moment?

Metrolink/TfGM have told me they expect the real time data to be released in the next 18 months. Learning how develop for WP8 for same reason!

Here's the double! 3005+ 3015 at Firswood outbound about a minute ago!!! The new line is fab

Still no double banana's on the ORL inbound in the morning peak, or nothing as yet anyway. Great photo's on twitter Kurt!

Heh. They originally announced it'd be available last year.
