At a recent Metrolink Construction Consultation, the following map was displayed, with a Trafford Centre / Port Salford line proposed subject to funding and approval.

A long way off, but positive. How useful it could be for existing fans I'm not so sure but if it happens, it will increase the catchment area greatly, and having the stop named Salford Reds would make our club visible to many more Salfordians and Mancunians than at present.

From what I've read of the message board linked above, the line very much depends on Peel's commitment to funding its construction. Not such a bad idea for them though, as it would mean they'd have MediaCity, Trafford Centre, Port Salford, and our new Stadium and associated retail on the network.


On a seperate note, I guess there has been a halt in progress on-site recently during the cold weather?

Dont forget Peel are looking to sell off the Trafford Centre to the Yanks.

If that happens then i think any hope of a line being built goes up in smoke.

The council should have insisted on a tramlink being built as part of the terms of the original trafford centres constuction. The fact they didnt do this, has meant Peel have been able to deliver empty promises on such a matter year after year.

John Wittaker who already has share's in Csc will soon be the majority shareholder of Capital shopping centres the group who will own the trafford centre in the near future, in theory he's building an even greater empire than he already has. Even when the TC is sold it will make no difference to peels plans for the future.

As Redleague says, the sale of the Trafford Centre and the way it's worked in with CSC means that Peel are certainly not washing their hands of any involvement with the TC area, they have EventCity along side, and the Port to follow. I'd hope that EventCity alone would encourage the metrolink investment as it's unusual these days to have a major exhibition facility these days that not got good public transport access.

Yes you can theoretically do that but i don't think Buckingham's are going to hire 100's of people with burco boilers ready to mix cement do you?

the stadium base will be laid by industrial concrete mixing lorries and silo's all with cold water,

although was going through some of my suppliers today and found these guys? wonder if Buckingham's could use a product to the same spec as this?
