The new tram route to Chorlton / St Werburgh's Road opened in 2011. Work was well underway on the next two extensions to the network - a continuation of the South Manchester Line along the disused railway to Didsbury, and a line to Manchester Airport. The latter will leave the existing line just after St Werburgh's Road, cutting across former school playing fields and Chorlton Brook to join Mauldeth Road West at the end of the line of trees. Work was already well underway on the new route.
