The city of Detroits Pourtagese 2 foot gauge streetcars are back in the UK? That would be news because last time I tried talking to the Kilpatrick Adminstation nobody knew where they were but speculated that one streetcar ended up in a private collection in Washington State.
Not sure, I gave away that copy of Heritage Railway that told about it. Maybe Crich?
But where in the UK?
The Detroit streetcars are back in the U.K.
Even a lunchbox could connect the dots, as it were. There's a combination of unexpected track maintenance and new construction that has suspended a resumption of operation until at least the end of the year. I am not sure the Savannah people quite understand everything that's required to keep a streetcar operation running (the outsourced Memphis management certainly didn't), but the 'official' story appears to be that they'll resume service in time:

Looks like we might have a fallen flag here just like when Detroit killed its streetcar in the 1990s when there streetcars went AWOL and are nowhere to be found.
