The disused railway line to Chorlton was re-opened as far as the new St Werburgh's Road stop in July 2011. The tracks were extended a short distance beyond the station. Work was well underway extending the route SE along the former heavy rail line to Didsbury. The line to Manchester Airport will leave the South Manchester Line just north of this point, to run across the triangular area of grass (already fenced off from the adjoining playing field), crossing Chorlton Brook, and joining Mauldeth Road West near Chorlton High School.
