Traffic is effectively gridlocked northbound on Portland Street even in mid-morning, due to closure of several main roads while more tram lines are imposed on Manchester's city centre. The scene in the rush hour can scarcely be imagined. In Manchester in 2015, it's often quicker and less stressful to walk across the city centre than use public transport.
