LOL, this is being taken waaaay too seriously..... but anyway.Your argument therefore calls for Piccadilly services to be brought to a more central location just as much as it does Victoria and Oxford Road services. What? Preposterous my dear boy, it does nothing of the sort! Metrolink serves the heart of the CBD because it was able to. The main lines will never serve the CBD because they aren't able to. That is how it will stay, until.... You have provided no evidence to suggest a manner in which they (or alternative routes serving the same areas with comparable journey times) could be connected to this central section, so I will continue in my "assumption".... No, I haven't provided any 'evidence'. But neither have I even suggested that other routes could be connected to the central section, have I? However, the proposed Rochdale and Oldham routes will be converted from heavy rail to Metrolink standards, and you can bet your bollocks that these will serve the CBD. ....my conclusion based on looking at the track diagrams. See... that's the problem. You should come and ride the Metrolink for yourself, before being so quick to slaughter it. Liverpool, which managed to get two underground link lines built. Yup, they did.... but then they didn't really have the cheaper option of street running, short of inventing a train that's capable of floating on water. |
