Does Stockport need the tram? When I first moved back to Greater Manchester in 2004, I chose Stockport because it was on the West Coast main line and had decent bus routes into Manchester. I was told by an estate agent that the Metrolink was coming, as though that was a selling point. In the four years I lived there, it never came. It's now 2024 and Stockport still isn't on a tram route. Who is Burnham appealing to with his stated ambition to get Stockport on the Metrolink map?
Glad you enjoyed my review of Sacha Lord's book
