Metrolink apparently expect to be running test trams as soon as the seasons over, but won't commit to anything more definite than 2012.
I was over for the Baggies game last week and had a gander at a couple of the new stations, including the one right at the ground. Very impressive.

It's taken that fucking long to get the tram line up and running, only 10 years late, that I will probably be dead before anything ever gets built. So losing interest fast.

Ten years? believe it or not the original proposals were finalised in 1973, the council spent 2 million in fees for a feasibility study including sound footprints of the 3 finalists,monorail, elevated electric and what we ended up with,rattle and bang standard gauge , which had by far the biggest impact on traffic, neighbours and noise pollution. Bury in the north, MIA in the south with branches to Irlam and Hyde as a first step. Not exactly dynamic progress has been made so far,to put it mildly
 
Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

Drove past the Stadium on the East side this morning. Noticed that since they have cleared the area from the Xtreme event on Sunday they have began to erect some kind of temporary stucture. It looked like some kind of Marquee/Media Event space. Seems unusual and in an unusual location. Anybody any ideas about what it could possibly be being used for? Perhaps JRB could oblige with his camera?
 
Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

I know over the Rugby League weekend at the end of May they have also got a 'Stobart Fest' which will need quite a big space; the last one in Northampton attracted about 7000 people. That might involve some prep and temporary erections... as it were!!

I only know about Stobart Fest cos i've got a 5 year old your Honour!!

Thats a fair few weeks away. i'd be surprised they would erect something this far advanced especially as we still have two home games of the season left.

That explains it. Should be quite a game then and a great atmosphere if all the hospitality seats are filled as well
