Another Blog, Another Tram!<\/span><\/p>\n Firstly, fbb had no idea where Angers was – he guessed in France; but more than that his ignorance was complete.<\/p><\/div>\n It is hard to compare population statistics because definitions vary so much country to country, but, for the sake of comparison, we can say that the Angers Metropole area is roughly the size of the City of Bristol.<\/p><\/div>\n 1, 3 and 4 travel north along the A32M32 then visit various housing estates.<\/p>\n Of these M1 is the only cross city route.<\/p>\n The M2 is mainly a Park and Ride service and uses little chunks of guided busway but NOT (oh no, too tricky!) when it goes round corners!\u00a0<\/p>\n See, no guide rails once it leaves the straight and narrow!<\/p><\/div>\n The new line, in operation for a\u00a0 week (!) runs roughly east to west with a dog leg north; and guess what it is called.
