If you bothered to read my post, I did not comment on the efficiency of the working of Metrolink but on the unfeasibility of some of the proposals being put forward for grandiose infrastructure schemes.

I did read your post....and didn't criticise it or you, just made some observations in context

The new arena is roughly a year away and will be approx 100 to 120 events a year plus our 28-30 events a year is plenty to justify a spend of £100 to 200million on transport to help flow for me. I can’t see why city and silverlake wouldn’t go halves with the council and gmpt. The investment in transport infrastructure will draw in more investment for hotel/casino, retail, housing all driving up the value of the investment city and silverlake have made. It’s a snowball effect, like the met did for places like whitefield, Or the steam railway did for ramsbottom where I live.
if people can’t get in and out easily they won’t come. Silverlake and city have invested hundreds of millions they will do their bit if the council etc match it to further drive forward the improvement of the area and Manchester as a whole.
Look at Wembley and the regeneration round it in the last 10 years, their wouldn’t be half of what’s there without transport infrastrupture spend that’s been provided. I’m not expecting that level of investment I’d hope particularly if labour get in next that success stories like Manchester will be accelerated. London has had its turn for long enough!

This. We wont recognise that area in 10 years. Not sure people are getting their heads round it

Following on from my post regarding the hotel , today I had a meeting regarding the electrical infrastructure which I’m hopefully going to get the order for late Feb/ March next year and the details were described but not actually shown as apparently they are under NDA .
The aerial view of the stand will be similar but will have a 3rd tier but the hotel isn’t built in the stand as I thought , as you approach the ground from the main car parks the shop goes as we all know but there will be 2 wings basically sticking out from the ground on an angle , one housing a conference centre and the other a hotel .
I’m told the new shop location isn’t completely know as City haven’t acquired the Mercedes dealership land ( at the moment ) .
I’ll post more as I find out .

The issue is that the government seem to forget that the Metrolink is a service, not a money making machine. If they want it to be reliable and useful to the people they shouldn't be so focused on profits, it will never make a big enough profit to entirely self fund extensions and upgrades. You wouldn't ask the army or the police or the NHS to try and make huge profits and I believe the Metrolink should be treated the same way.

Don't be giving the government ideas, that's exactly what they are chasing with the privatisation of the NHS and following the US heathcare model
