Hey guys!

As of last tuesday, the Altrincham line has re-opened to the public. Bury will be open on the 17th of September. I cant wait, these busses are silly!

Anyone taken a ride yet?

Cheers

Chris

Beat me to it, had a ride on Tuesday and was very impressed with the work that as been done, the new track starts at the Manchester end of Timperley Station and runs all the way to just passed Trafford Bar. Most of the platforms have also been relayed and raised to level with the tram doors eliminating the need for a raised section on the platforms. Good Job Metrolink and Carillion, hoe its just as good on the Bury Line
