The new tram route to Chorlton / St Werburgh's Road opened in 2011, with tracks being laid a short distance beyond the St Werburgh's Road stop. Work was well underway on the next two extensions to the network - a continuation of the South Manchester Line along the disused railway to East Didsbury (along the trackbed seen here), and a line to Manchester Airport which will leave the existing line just behind the photographer's position.
