Looking along the newly refurbished Smedley Viaduct from the road bridge at Collyhurst Road. It was originally planned for this section of the Metrolink extension, running along the abandoned railway corridor to Central Park in East Manchester,to open in spring 2011 (http://www.metrolink.co.uk/pdf/future_metrolink/latest_news_publicatios/10-0004_Link3Reprintlowres.pdf ) but that has now been revised to 2012 (http://www.metrolink.co.uk/futuremetrolink/oldham-and-rochdale-line.asp ) Image] shows a similar view taken when trains still ran across the viaduct.
