It's something Stockport's heard before, but this time, it might be for real
The headline ‘ Stockport to get Metrolink ’ is one that’s been written plenty of times, with the proposals being announced and reannounced by politicians of all colours for years.
Under further questioning on BBC Radio Manchester, the mayor said he ‘would like to see them built in the decade’ and also said ‘the new Stockport Interchange has been built with tram capability’. His comments follow a suggestion in 2019 that tram-trains could serve Wigan, Bolton, and Stockport by as soon as 2022.
Publicly-available maps of railway lines show that there is the dormant Manchester South District Railway which runs from the end of the in-use East Didsbury tram line.
