00:00Should trams be extended to Stocksbridge and Chesterfield?

00:04Yeah, I don't think they're the best places for them to be extended to.

00:07I think back down Atcliffe would be a good idea, and also back up to Crookes.

00:15I think it would be a good idea where they kind of were originally.

00:21I do think so, yeah.

00:24I'd prefer them if they were like...

00:27I think they should extend to like Doncaster maybe,

00:30because Doncaster's very close to Sheffield as well,

00:33and that's where I mainly travel back and forth from.

00:36So personally I'd like it to extend to Doncaster, but yeah.

00:42Yeah, I think so.

00:44If they can extend it then they should be able to,

00:47because then it gets more people into the city.

00:49Would it be useful for you? Would it be helpful in terms of your travel arrangements?

00:53For me, not so much, but I know that there are a lot of people that rely on the trams,

00:58and the further they go the better it is for getting people in and out.

01:03Yes, I do. I think it'd be a good idea.

01:06Do you think it'd be well used?

01:08I would imagine so, because the present system's well used.

01:13Yes, I believe that the trams should be extended out to Stocksbridge.

01:18They have a lot of issues with the replacement buses that go into Stocksbridge,

01:24and it's a long way out for people taxi-wise, so it's a lot of money.

01:28So I believe that this should extend on to Stocksbridge.

01:31I'm not too sure on Chesterfield, as I don't go around that area or adventure that far,

01:38but I believe this should go to Stocksbridge.

01:40It would help a lot of residents in Chesterfield.

01:43Would you use them yourself?

01:44Yes, I would. I would use them to get to Fox Valley and things like that.

01:49I've got family in Chesterfield, so it'd be an easier route for Chesterfield as well.

01:57It'd be an easier route to meet family and things like that.

02:00So yes, I believe that, yes.

02:03Well, I have not a complete idea about this extended tram,

02:07but whatever makes Chesterfield improve is better for us,

02:11especially Chesterfield, because Chesterfield is a commercial place,

02:15and many people commute there.

02:17So I'm not familiar with that area, but I have heard that if it happens, definitely.

02:22But it's a cost-benefit analysis matter, and you still have to think about that.
