Manchesters Metrolink service uses the old railway lines between Victoria and Bury and also Deansgate (G-Mex) to Altrincham. A new line was built for trains to run between Stockport and Navigation Road with no additional stations. On the central section (Victoria/Picadilly/Deansgate(G-Mex)) it is embedded into the road. The difference between trams and trains is that trams have a tighter turning circle and are considerably shorter as a result.
