MORE trams could be introduced between Shaw and Crompton and Manchester City centre thanks to a major European grant.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has had a £10.8 million European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) bid approved, which will allow the first stage of Metrolink’s Second City Crossing (2CC) programme to be completed.
That will see a spur between Manchester Victoria and Exchange Square built by next summer - giving Metrolink the ability to run more trams between Shaw and Crompton and the city from winter 2015.
