    Surely, it would make more sense to route the Altrincham-Bury via Exchange Square or is the diagram not representative of the route lengths?

    I can’t see the benefit of all that disruption for people travelling on the line from Bury to Altrincham or Piccadilly.

    They could have invested this money in turnstiles for each metro station to keep the fare dodging, anti-social people off the metro.
