Liberal Democrat Councillor for St Marys ward - Bury MBC

Met back to where it once belonged

The refurbished Metrolink line between Bury and Manchester is back up and running, and only slightly behind schedule.

I haven’t had the chance to ride it myself yet, but Cllr Andrew Garner from Sedgley ward has, and he said the quality of ride was much improved. I have heard from local residents that the noise of passing trams is also greatly improved. Which is fantastic news, and a credit to those in charge of delivering this much needed project.

Now all we need is cleaner, less crowded, more reliable trams at a price that isn’t likely to bankrupt us mere mortals, and in an environment not surrounded by uncontrolled feral thugs, and the Met might become more appealing than a dose of flu.

Here’s hoping that Stagecoach, the new company runnning the service, do the trick.
