Metrolink tram near Sunnybank Road
Compared with traditional tramways which had their tracks straight down the middle of the road, modern systems are laid to suit the needs of modern road traffic, as here to allow vehicles space to wait for a right turn manoeuvre.

Jolly Carter, 231 Manchester Road (A662)
This part of the A662 road is called Manchester Road. This building has been used as a pub since 1868. There were cones outside as the Manchester Metrolink tramway extension to Droylsden and Ashton-under-Lyne was under construction. It will run in the street outside, and part of the pub's grounds have had to be sacrificed to make way for the building of the nearby Cemetery Road tram stop.

Jolly Carter, 231 Manchester Road (A662)
One of the many surviving Victorian pubs in this area. The cones, barriers etc. outside were in connection with construction works for the Manchester Metrolink tramway. An extension to Droylsden, and eventually Ashton-under-Lyne, will run along the road outside the pub.
