    An extension to Christchurch's tram network marks the end of work to upgrade earthquake-damaged High Street

    An extension to Christchurch's tram network marks the end of work to upgrade earthquake-damaged High Street



    The new 500 metre additional route will open to the public next week.

    A new tram stop and shelter has also been installed at the Tuam and High Street intersection.

    The life-sized bronze corgis that were installed in High Street in 2003 to mark the Queen's golden jubilee, have been moved to sit beside the new shelter.
