Work has started on this part of Manchester Road in connection with the construction of an extension to the Manchester Metrolink tramway. This will open to Droylsden town centre in early 2012, and later it will be opened to Ashton-under-Lyne. This part replicates the route of Manchester's first generation tramway, which ran along here until 1938. From 1938 to December 1966 electric trolleybuses were operated here. Image
