Take the trolley to the Fringe!

Fringe is upon us and Vue Wave's second ever video podcast is all about the neatest possible way you could get there, the trolley. Run by the Edmonton Radial Railway Society, the trolley runs from downtown to the Fringe grounds every 40 minutes and is the perfect compliment to a day of Fringing.

We made this video one sunny day just before Father's Day and are sharing it with you now so that you'll consider the time of your life on the trolley. Also, it goes over the top of the High Level Bridge. Delightfully frightening! Check it out.
