The 'street running' that is often mentioned is bollocks. The extent of 'street running' (taking 'street running' as meaning sharing the road with other vehicles) on the Bury and Alty lines is from St Peter's Square, down Mosely Street to by the bus station at Piccadilly Gardens - a distance of perhaps a third of a mile. The remainder of the supposed street running in the CBD takes the form of separate rights-of-way inaccessible to motor vehicles, or a small distance through a pedestrianised are.The point is that you couldn't run the same thing on the East and Slow Lines out of Piccadilly and on whatever excuse you want to make for what *is* ultimately street running. |
