But there's a big hurdle in the way
Building work on Metrolink extensions to Stockport , Heywood, and Middleton could start in the next four years.
That came after Transport for Greater Manchester published its draft rapid transit strategy, which identified the extensions as priorities for the city-region. Currently, business cases are being worked on to be submitted to the government for approval, which would establish how the projects would be funded.
“The decision is not ours, we have to get them signed off by the government. I think all of that points to a culture change over transport. Transport is the enabler for growth. It brings the growth the government says it wants — without it, you won’t get the growth.
