Tram work is on track
Date published: 27 November 2009
CONTRACTORS are hard at work at Shaw station on the multi-million-pound project to convert the Oldham loopline to a Metrolink service.
The switch from trains to trams will take two years to complete. Trams should be running from Manchester Victoria to a redeveloped Mumps station by autumn 2011, and into Rochdale the following spring.
A feasibility study into taking the new line along King Street and Union Street is still being worked on. The Oldham loop, which dates back to 1847, closed on October 3.

What a joke that an unelected quango can wreak such havoc. A feasibilty study? Sack Mr Wagstaff before he does any more damage to our town
dont waste money on feasibility study of union street. its practically impossible.
the land avaliable is limited unless ombc buy up more cheaply with their cpo's.
and the existing builings along union st wont be able to handle the extra vibrations caused by the trams.
half of the buildings would end up being damaged. and this will add to the extra costs we will be fotting the bill for!
