According to the 'Manchester Evening News', the Manchester Airport Metrolink construction project is running well ahead of schedule (as many of us suspected). Passenger services are expected to commence before the end of 2014. Initially, Manchester Airport to Cornbrook will be operated every 12 minutes. In 2017, following the opening of the second city centre crossing, services will continue to points beyond the city centre. In the meantime, Cornbrook is a useful transfer point.
This is of course excellent news for the airport, and if service is launched more than a year ahead of the originally projected 2016 start-date then plaudits are due to all involved with the project. We are quick to criticise when things go awry. Some bouquets are due here!
I wonder if any Metrolink project planners fancy a job in Berlin?
