In the 1990s the disused Fallowfield Loop line and part of the disused railway line west of Chorlton Junction was converted to a cycle path. When this photo was taken work was well underway to re-open the line as far as the junction as part of the Metrolink tram network. This opened on 7 July 2011. The cycleway has now been realigned to cross the tracks a short distance from this location and the cutting widened to accommodate both the cycleway and the tram tracks.
