How The Manchester Metrolink Map Has Changed Over The Years Inspired By @geofftech2 's 'How Paddington has changed on the tube map'. Watch it at • How Paddington Has Cha...
One interesting fact is that Cornbrook only opened in 1999, it was purely built to serve as an interchange station for the Eccles line (and at one time served as another terminus station using its island third platform, which is now disused and occupied by a Metrolink portocabin used by the tram drivers). But after much demand, street access from Cornbrook Road was then eventually implemented into the station a couple years later.
I loved the tram when it went from Oldham Mumps to Freehold, without those three extra stops that adds 5-7 minutes to the journey. It's a shame they ruined it. I loved every second of the original Oldham Mumps spot. I'm hoping there's a future orbital tram, like the one I've seen on Google, where the tram goes from Oldham to Ashton and then Ashton to Stockport with Stockport linking with East Didsbury. This would be an actual game changer for people wanting to get to Ashton from Oldham and Rochdale, without having to go through Manchester city centre. The only thing I see happening is Stockport extension from Didsbury. But I'm not sure if they'll make a link with Ashton from Stockport. But I think they should. If I had to choose one, I'd choose Oldham to Ashton. It would take 10 minutes, rather than 80 minutes or 20 minutes on the bus. Let's hope it happens one day
@@finbarpower2325 not really. There was a smarter way to add the stops. They didn't need to completely get rid of the original Oldham mumps that lead to Freehold, which was one stop away. But that's what they did. They could have kept mumps where it is and have the Derker tram, lead to Oldham Central or Oldham King Street. One or the other. Or both. It doesn't matter. Then lead to Westwood, which would then lead to Freehold. They could have kept the Oldham Mumps to Freehold as a shorter option. For those needing to get to the city centre faster from Rochdale and Oldham and vice versa. There was no need to completely demolish the original Oldham mumps. This is just one option. The other option could have been keep the old original line, have two stops instead of three. One stop behind Matalan, which is also next to sainsburys. That would have been walking distance to either sainsburys and town, or Alexandra retail park. The following stop could have been Westwood, but just after where the tram bends into towards Freehold. That would have saved metrolink millions of pounds
Sydney trams will be hard to map soon because our network only has one section of line with more than a single route on it and most of it’ll be disconnected by looking at networks in urban sub-cities.

2:14 i remember during that time they would go to exchange square wait there for 10 minutes and come back
The only tram I've been on that wasn't in a museum was the Edinburgh tramway for a few days
cmon just build that 100th station already we're waiting

The new map irritatingly has East Didsbury and the Airport the wrong way around!

Don't worry, no tram map will ever be worse than Toronto's kilt design with all 12 tram lines both drawn and labelled in red.
F for Moseley street
P86 DLR 11 was used as a test before going into London.
Nice video :)
Lets have TRAM STUFF
@@AviatorCameron YAAAASSSS
