Metrolink @25 Metrolink @25 A special review in association with Metrolink is just one sign of Manchester's ambitions of becoming a world-class city. The Beetham Tower, completed in 2016, is another; it is currently the tallest building outside the UK capital. This special celebration of 25 years of Manchester Metrolink is produced in association with Tramways & Urban Transit © 2017 Contributors: Tony Streeter, Neil Pulling Design: Debbie Nolan Production: Lanna Blyth Commercial: Geoff Butler TAUT Editor: Simon Johnston All images by Neil Pulling unless otherwise stated.

Metrolink @25 We’ve come a long way… t is hard to believe that it has been more than 25 years since the first Metrolink service left the Queen’s I Road depot back in 1992. The network’s journey from humble beginnings to the largest light rail system in the UK is certainly a remarkable one. The phenomenal GBP1.5bn (EUR1.7bn) expansion programme completed earlier in 2017 has been one of the largest and most ambitious transport projects ever to be delivered in the UK. We now have a system that spans over 97km (60 miles), boasts 120 trams and serves 93 stops at key destinations across the city region. The distinctive yellow Councillor Andrew Fender, Chair of the Transport for Greater trams are one of Greater Manchester’s most recognisable Manchester Committee. TfGM sights – an integral part of people’s lives. Back on 17 July 1992, when Her Majesty The Queen officially opened Metrolink, it was a different picture. A fleet of just 26 East Didsbury, Rochdale via Oldham, Ashton and Manchester trams ran to 20 stops along 31km (19 miles) of track between Airport. Patronage has rocketed from eight million journeys in Altrincham and Bury via Manchester city centre. The opening Metrolink’s first year to a staggering 40 million in 2017. of the UK’s first on-street running light rail extension – to Eccles This year saw the final piece in the jigsaw as we celebrated via Salford Quays – followed in 1999-2000.

Metrolink has been a strong catalyst for further investment and economic growth, helping to deliver regeneration in the areas it serves, including MediaCityUK, Oldham and Wythenshawe town centres. This year we have started work on yet another major Metrolink project – the GBP350m ‘It has been a (EUR400m) Trafford remarkable journey, Park Line, due to open in 2020. and one I’m This six-stop line will offer fast privileged to have and frequent seen first-hand.’ connections to jobs, leisure, shopping and Councillor Andrew Fender cultural destinations along the 5.5km (3.4-mile) route, including connections to employment at Trafford Park, Europe’s largest industrial estate. And, in our jubilee year, a new operator has taken over Metrolink’s reigns. KeolisAmey Metrolink – a partnership between two international transport and infrastructure management specialists – signed a contract to operate and maintain the network from this summer, with a commitment to create more than 300 new jobs including drivers, apprenticeships and traineeships. Customers are already reaping the benefits of an increased staff and security presence across the network. It therefore couldn’t be a better time to celebrate Metrolink’s impressive history and the many successes of the past 25 years. It has been a remarkable journey, and one I’m privileged to have seen first-hand, and my thanks go to all Generation those who have worked so hard to turn those early dreams game: T68 and ambitions into a reality. 1003 meets Their collective dedication and focus has helped us to M5000 3013 at deliver a truly world-class transport system for the people Piccadilly on of Greater Manchester – now we turn our attention to the 24 March 2017. next 25 years. 25 years of Metrolink ❚ 3 Metrolink @25 Metrolink: A vision of unity ack in 1992, Metrolink was experimental stuff. setbacks and rejections, but that success has also led others The opening of a line that weaved together former to increasingly ask: ‘How have they done it?’ B British Rail heavy rail routes with street-running across Visitors from around the world are regularly welcomed Manchester’s city centre had never been seen before. to England’s north-west to help answer that very question, In 2017 the system completed its multi-year ‘Big Bang’ quizzing local authorities, designers, contractors and that has more than trebled its size.

Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester A consortium including GEC, Mowlem and Amec was appointed to design, build, operate and maintain the first phase of Metrolink. The idea was to increase connectivity into and across the city, at the same time breathing new life into old and under-utilised commuter lines. A quarter-century on, we can see how successful that vision has been. From underground to street-running At the time Metrolink was conceived it was seen as a bold step – though not as bold as a previous proposal that would have seen a tunnelled connection across the city centre. If the ‘Picc-Vic’ scheme had come to fruition it would have seen a roughly 5km (three-mile) line dug under the city centre to connect (as the name suggests) the major stations of Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria. Unlike in many other countries, the UK’s 19th Century railway boom was driven not by the state, but by private finance – and that resulted in the two stations not being physically linked, despite being only around 1.5km (one mile) HM Queen Elizabeth II unveils a plaque in St Peter’s Square at the apart.

As part of the Issues Paper consultation we welcome the submission of any sites you wish to be considered for development, protection or for some other purpose within Trafford. Each submission will be assessed in terms of its ‘fit’ with the Local Plan and against sustainability criteria, which may ultimately lead to the site being allocated. Sites submitted for development will be assessed to establish their capacity, suitability, availability and achievability, taking into account planning policy, the environment and local constraints and the extent to which they can be mitigated or addressed. Sites submitted to be considered for protection or another purpose will be assessed on their suitability for the proposed use. The Call for Sites will not determine whether a site should be allocated for a particular use, it is a technical exercise aimed at identifying the potential of sites for different allocations. Guidelines Use a separate Call for Sites form for each site Submit an Ordnance Survey map clearly showing the boundaries of the site. If there is more than one landowner, please ensure the land ownership boundaries are clearly defined on the map, and please provide confirmation that each landowner is in agreement of the consideration of the land for possible development.
