new metrolink stop

trams arent running on the bury line today and tomorrow,this is due to a new stop being built at the abraham moss leisure centre/school,i think woodlands road is being closed due to low patronage and anti social behaviour,i worked at gmpte in 95 and remember seeing plans for the new stop as well as the new lines,its took 15 years but its all coming together now,talking of anti social behaviour,got the tram from shudehill yesterday at 7pm,a gang of thugs aged 16+ boarded without a ticket,luckily there were inspectors to challenge them and ask them to leave,they screamed and shouted abuse and kicked the windows and doors..no wonder the inspectors go around in groups[safety in numbers],i wanted to be a guard on the railways but looking back i wouldnt want to confront violent drunken people and ask for tickets,no wonder you never see a guard collecting tickets on a late night train say from-liverpool,blackpool to manchester,thats my experience anyway.
