Plans to extend Manchester Metrolink were reinstated after an election-time u-turn by the Labour Government which had rejected the plans months earlier, despite years of support. Manchester Metro redirects here - for the Manchester Metroshuttle free bus routes see Metroshuttle or First Manchester Manchester Metrolink A " flip-flop " (used mostly in the United States) or a U-turn (used in the United Kingdom) is a sudden real or apparent change of policy or The Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE), responsible for public transport in the area, led the fight to ensure that the extensions be built, with significant support from local councils and communities and Manchester City Council. The Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive ( GMPTE) is the public body ( Passenger Transport Executive) responsible for co-ordinating Public transport Manchester City Council is the local authority for the City of Manchester in Greater Manchester, England [4] In July 2006 the government announced a major extension to the Metrolink system, which is intended to form the first phase of the so-called 'big bang' expansion. If the eventual desired system is completed, passenger numbers are predicted to more than double to an estimated 50 million per year.
A widely held view of many in Manchester of one of the major failings of the Metrolink is that it has never been extended to reach the Trafford Centre (approx. The Trafford Centre is a large indoor shopping centre located in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester, England 5 miles away in Trafford Park). The line to Eccles is judged by many to be a failure as it takes longer than the bus journey following a similar route, and achieves this without the Metrolink's advantage of using a dedicated route. Eccles is a town within the Metropolitan borough of the City of Salford, in Greater Manchester, England.
Since the initial euphoria at the huge success, from the public, local and national government, and environmental groups, Metrolink it has become something of a victim of its own popularity. Many routes are extremely busy, especially at peak times, and prices have risen at far above the rate of inflation.
