I asked......
The TfGM committee Capital Projects and Policy Sub Committee meeting on the 20th April 2015 agenda has listed item 9 as "exercise of option to operate Metrolink Phase 3b". I would like to ask is this information available to the public, and if it isn't, could this information be obtain through the freedom of information act?*
Also the redevelopment of Victoria Metrolink stop, is there a plan or track plan of the proposed rebuild of the station once the 2cc is opened in 2016?*
Finally the Metrolink and Rail Network sub committee mentions that 12 T68 replacement M5000 trams will all be in service in November 2012. Its also mentions 13 additional M5000's to be brought into use for the current and future networks. Does this mean trams 3017-3041 will be in service by November 2012 and that you don't expect TMS to be operation by then?

Thank you for your email.

I will answer each of your queries in turn.

Freedom of Information Act request
A response regarding the Phase 3 report will be provided by TfGMs Paralegal Team.

Track plan of Victoria Station
Please find attached a copy of the Capital Projects and Policy Sub-Committee report which includes in Appendix 1 a plan showing the proposed remodelling of the Victoria Station Metrolink stop. This will cater for the increased capacity of future Metrolink lines and 2CC.

T68 replacement by M5000 vehicles and TMS
You made reference to sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 of the attached Metrolink and Rail Networks report. I can confirm that the two separate statements do not imply that TMS will not be in operation by November 2012. The date of November 2012 in section 3.3.1 relates to the anticipated date when the 12 T68 vehicles will be replaced by M5000 vehicles. The 13 additional M5000s referred to in 3.3.2 provide an immediate solution while TMS is being rolled out across the system in order to allow the vehicles to operate on both systems.
