I used the metrolink earlier in the week and was shocked at the destruction.
I think many enthusiasts used the line as it still retained many MSJ&A features.
Now a huge amount has been ripped out.
The line to Altrincham has been rationalised from its original formation in many places which could prevent expansion in the future.
if it becomes more busy they will have to use the buses, so I do agree with that.
They have made it imposible to restore four track running and the Old trafford 4 platforms are a brilliant example.
The station had 4 platforms, all original and now they have all been ripped out and replaced with 2 new small ones that cannot possibly cope at this of all stations.
Now the other two platforms are gone it will overflow and quickly.
the new trams are also smaller, wonder why now?
The next thing you know the line has been closed and turned into a bus route.
All I can say is enjoy what is left while you can, it may not be around for much longer.
