<P>The line which they are missing is the southern Manchester CLC ring really. This closed in '85 due to the bridge over the MSC at Glazebrook being cream crackered. </P> <P>However there are plenty of Transpennine routes available; the Hope requires resignalling and that will be cheaper than rebuilding 35miles over double track at roughly £3m a mile plus extras. </P> <P>What is interesting is where (or of) they shift Trafford Park Freight Terminal. Apparently some are eyeing that up for housing; also glad to see that the govt have finally given a half hearted and grudging go-ahead for the Metrolink tram system extension. Probabley one eye on a few marginals in the Greater Manchester Area I should think. </P>
