Can you just imagine it? :-
The junction at the bottom of Market Street
A new junction incorporating a tram turntable, traffic lights all on red whilst the tram driver gets out and turns his vehicle round, then goes upstairs to flip over the seats before flipping the downstairs ones (can't afford to employ conductors these days Mrs, one man trams only.) Makes the current junction seem positively efficient doesn't it?
