There is traditional street track along Hollyhedge Road, but what is less traditional is that there are no stops on this section. This seems to be because there was there was no room to fit in the high platforms necessary on the Metrolink system. The stops at either end – Martinscroft and Benchill – are over one mile apart, despite running through a major housing development.
