xx:00, xx:10, xx:20, xx:30, xx:40, xx:50 to Central Manchester platform 3
xx:05, xx:15, xx:25, xx:35, xx:45, xx:55 to Bury platform 1
Can I just throw something else into the mix, when the "line of sight" operation comes into use on the city centre section would this not affect the chances of running to a strict scheduled?
Also can you see Network Rail allowing Tram-Trains to run on the same lines as heavy freight trains?

Cheers John.
