What a transport system we had back then...

Before Metrolink: Manchester's lost great tram system

It’s hard to believe that just a short distance underneath the streets we walk on every day lies an intricate maze of steel which was once home to Manchester’s first tram system.

That's Joe Mercer Way. The canal side and bar are just to the right.

You can see the gas holder in the distance.

The LED /letters will move all the way around the top of the arena.

From May.

How about some behind the scenes content? We have started work on our huge LED halo.

Why are the club not in talks with the council? regarding using Philips Park doing something in there, the key strategy of the club at the moment seems to be keeping people at the Etihad Campus to stop traffic build-up. Using Philips Park would give a bit of green to the concrete jungle that is the Etihad Campus. There is also plenty of land around the stadium and the surrounding area that can be used to develop all singing all dancing entertainment district for the area that the council want. Just look what they have done with the training ground

Not to forget the trolley buses that I remember seeing in town as a nipper, especially around Stevenson Square. I believe they were introduced to replace trams and ran until the mid 1960's.

Still can’t understand why they have included Riverpark Rd there are no houses on there

Or Lord North St, but I'm guessing these are due to the congestion created by motorists getting to/from these locations.

The idea is clearly to upgrade these areas in the future and getting parking restrictions in now before selling off the land to developers. Plus try to reduce the traffic coming into the wider area. It’s bad enough as it is now on matchdays but throw an event in at the arena and it really will need better control. I’m still hopeful that it will lead to better public transport myself but probably too optimistic.

I have a Pink Elephant for sale, if you are interested.
