Where do these myths come from? This seems to be a combination of several myths. There are no 'converted second hand trams ' . The old pacer trains that were retired last year were based on a bus body , they weren't actually old buses though. They were bloody rubbish mind !!

The new Valley line trains to form the metro are light rail, so basically trams rather than trains. They are brand new and being built at present.
