Oldham line closure

Recorded during the final hours of the temporary Oldham line (17/18 January 2014) that has operated since June 2012 whilst the town centre route was constructed. At one time it looked as if this would have been the permanent route when funding for the phase 3b was in doubt but this was secured in 2010.

I love this video. Raw footage, straight to the point :)

I was heartbroken when they closed this. They didn't need to. This could have been a separate route. A quicker route for people that didn't want to go through town. In Manchester they made exchange square, so that you didn't need to go through market street. You saved 2-3 minutes there. This original route saves you 5-6 minutes. I really want it to return, but that's never going to happen
