Also, take a look at this portion of map. It's from a Scotland tourist guide I picked up in Hay-on-Wye recently, seems to date from around the early 50s. According to that, Bridge St station isn't on Bridge St at all! Although they may be simply indicating that the platforms aren't on Bridge St, which is kind of odd for an overground tourist map...

Has there evr been any intention to expand the system does anyone know? Iv never heard any such plans myself, but always thought it could be quite easily done. Well, for the South side and parts of the East end at least.
