InTramCities with Gordon Stewart

Manchester, United Kingdom : 30th September 2014

A return to the UK's premier tramway network to see how the Manchester Metrolink, a system which exhibits both light-railway and tramway features, has converted a former railway line to the neighbouring towns of Oldham and Rochdale and re-routed part of the new line through central Oldham

Union Street in Oldham runs closely parallel to the old railway alignment linking Manchester with Rochdale, but the newly-converted Metrolink line now follows this new route through Oldham and shows distinct tramway features albeit with high level platforms. The new Oldham Central stop is in the background in the photo above.
