Uhh.... regarding the tunnel thing - I'd never mentioned that. You seem to forget that (as pointed out by, I think, Fytton) there was never any realistic chance of said tunnel being built. In any case, passengers have not been short-changed in this central section at all - the previous attempt at a central Manchester link was a bus. Thus your point that it does nothing to improve access for Piccadilly passengers is wrong, the current Metrolink set-up is far superior to the previous bus application.horrendous incompatibilities Incompatible with what? Main-line rail? So what, it does what it's supposed to, and considerably better than what was there previously - both to Bury and Alty, and within the city centre. |
