Manchester, United Kingdom : 20th July 2015 
Manchester's Metrolink keeps expanding. The latest line, branching from the East Didsbury line, takes trams through Wythenshawe to terminate at the International Airport alongside the main line trains which make the largest airport in the UK outside the London area well served by public transport

Manchester Airport. The line opened one year earlier than anticipated and below budget - quite some achievement in terms of British tramways. This has allowed Manchester to proceed with the next stages of planned expansion, with a line to the Trafford Centre retail complex now at design stage. The tram above is showing as running to Cornbrook. In the summer of 2015 the Metrolink network was split into to parts with the central section between Market Street and Deansgate-Castlefield closed to allow a major reconstruction of St Peter's Square for the junction with the future "second" city crossing. The new link is required to relieve the original link through the city following the improvement of frequencies on existing lines and the addition of new lines to the network. The Deansgate-Castlefield stop has recently reopened after substantial reconstruction including the installation of a new platform. However, due to pressure of infrastructure here, the Airport line is being terminated at Cornbrook, where shuttle buses are being provided for onward travel into the city centre. Whilst the link through the city centre will be restored later in the year, Airport services are expected to continue to terminate at Cornbrook until the new city crossing is opened.
