Mumps station

It's hardly the old station which looked a bit more substantial than this one but this is the new Mumps tram stop. Well thats until the tram comes through the town centre. Been for a bike ride today to have a look at how the works are coming along. I was hoping to see some trams on test but no luck today. I ended up riding down the Bridgewater canal a little bit before heading back. It was a tough ride because of injury a few weeks ago but hoping to get out more very soon. Have added a few pics i took whilst i was out. Including a drained Ashton canal near to Edge lane. Looks like they are installing new lock doors but i could be wrong.

  4. Very much so. In the first picture it would have been at the top of it. No its just dirt.

  6. Hi everyone, first time posting on here. I just hope that the fares won't be too high, or the new line could turn into an expensive white elephant. Anyone any idea how much the fares will be ?
