P.S. Did they recover the track etc. from the closed garden centre in Knutsford in order to carry out the extension?

I am not quite sure of what garden centre in Knutsford you are talking about swiss as the town is garden centre heaven.
The model shop is there and I recently bought a guards van from them.
You ay wish to knwo that the second station just after the tunnels can be stopped at.
I did say this but the station is not advertised as a stop at all but if you stand on the platform and put your hand out or ask the driver before the trip starts then the train stops.
Thats what happened when I was there anyway.
The new bit is very good and I think the station is open now.
As the central station has four platforms there may be yet another line but this time end to end and use the turntable which has not been used since the original loop was finished.
