00:00It's a great idea. We've just come back from visiting a friend in the Hallamshire
00:05and it's quite a trek up the hill there and when you're getting old, like I am,
00:10then a trek up the hill starts to get a bit tricky. So it'd be a great idea, yes.
00:15And who should pay for it?
00:17It should come from the Mayor Authority, I would think, the South Yorkshire Authority.
00:20Lots of people go to the Hallamshire, from all over South Yorkshire, for specialist treatment
00:27so therefore it will benefit everyone in any way.
00:30Priority.
00:34Why?
00:34Because I know, well, I was up at Western Park for radiotherapy.
00:41You can't drive there, well you can drive there, but parking? I mean you're nervous enough
00:49to have a tram there. I mean because we got it as far as university but then you had,
00:56it's not a long walk, but for maybe the elderly, I'm not talking about myself,
01:03yes it'd be a splendid idea.
01:06Because it's quite hard to get to hospitals and parking
01:10so it would be a lot easier to get a tram to there, yeah.
01:14Which hospital?
01:16Hallamshire, yeah, Hallamshire's quite, yeah.
