New Tramway Under Construction
Image: © David Dixon Taken: 13 Apr 2011
Shown on the OS map as "dismantled railway", new track has been laid in this old railway cutting, ready for the extension to the Metrolink tramway to run from Manchester to Oldham and Rochdale. This is looking towards Oldham, from Monsall Road. The spectacular structure ahead is part of the newly constructed Central Park tram station (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park_Metrolink_station ).
