Robinswood Road Tramstop, Inbound
Metrolink Bombardier tram number 3086 waits at the Robinswood Road stop on its journey towards Manchester (Cornhill).
The Robinswood Road stop is unusual for the Airport line in that it is the only one where the alignment uses neither an island platform nor are the two platforms facing each other.
The track here runs along a strip of land on the southern side of Simonsway. The inbound (towards Manchester) platform at the Robinswood Road stop is situated to the east of the signalled junction with Brownley and Ruddpark Roads whilst the outbound (towards Manchester Airport) platform is to the west of this junction which replaced the roundabout which used to be here.

Delta House, Wavell Road, Manchester
An interesting Y-shaped 1960s office block, the upper storeys above a hexagonal ground floor.
I would have tried to get a closer look, but the "ISO27001-compliant building has some of the most sophisticated security of any data centre in Europe ... with an on-site police-linked, NSI Gold Approved, BS5979 certified control room and alarm receiving centre [it is] unique in the UK. ...biometric access controls, virtual tripwires, visitor turnstiles and man-traps, and full-height perimeter fencing provide multiple layers of physical security."
