The Manchester Metrolink is being extended to Stockport, which is something people have been demanding for years. If I can get to Stockport by tram from my house near the airport, I'll be very happy.
However, some maps I've seen show the tram line going a completely different route, which would be much less useful for me, and much less useful for anyone in Stockport wanting to go to the airport. They wouldn't even be able to go into Manchester city centre on the tram, given that they already have trains that go there in a straight line while the trams would go an utterly idiotic way, via Didsbury and Chorlton.
There's an alternative plan to make a new tram line that just does a loop around the outskirts of Manchester, going through all the shitholes and connecting to all the other existing lines. That would be a lot better in my opinion.
