Union Street work on the right track
Date published: 07 August 2012
LAYING down the line: newly-laid tracks in front of the former Star Inn at the junction of King Street and Union Street mark the first appearance of tram lines for the town centre route.
THE first sections of track have been laid to herald the arrival of Metrolink to Union Street.
Progress was made when Co-operative Funeral Care moved to its new premises on John Street, allowing demolition workers to knock down its old headquarters. The work paved the way for track-layers to furrow a straight line from the King Street roundabout and up to Union Street.
