Title doesn't seem to match contents edit

I have read and re-read this article. I have no problem with the contents except that they don't appear to have anything to do with the title.

The Grimsby District Light Railway was basically the Great Central's line from Pyewipe to Immingham Dock and the parallel electric tramway which became known publicly as the Grimsby and Immingham Electric Railway.

The text of the article is entirely about Grimsby's own street trams. When the GDLR was mooted there was talk of connecting with the Grimsby tramways, but it never happened.

Could someone either put me right or, if I am right, find a way for me to rewrite the article as it should be AND keep the present text under a more approriate heading?

Here's hoping someone can.

As no-one responded to my comment above I went ahead and wrote what is now the first section of this article which is about the GDLR, whereas the last section remains about the Great Grimsby Tramways.

We have ended up with an article about the GDLR with a section about a completely separate concern, which I believe should be in a separate article.
