      Who'd have thought a train journey that literally starts off going almost half a mile in completely the wrong direction, then joins the second worst bottleneck in the UK rail system and ends with several hundred yards of walking would take longer than a direct cross city tram ride to well a located well located stop? Ken was always gonna win.

Also I did visit Manchester twice last year and on one trip I did see the Odsall Chord and saw some Northern Filthy Buggers (trains I've loved since I was living in Brighton but I've said that plenty of times lol) working on there so it may be possible Northern do run on it but I haven't checked lately.

      I used to live there, while the Train has the speed and stop advantage, it has to take a long route around, where as the Tram cuts through the city. Also the platform the Train comes in on is quite far from the station entrance by a considerable amount whereas the Tram, despite coming in underground comes out in the middle of the station and is a much shorter route. Frankly, the train was always going to lose between those two stations, just simply because of the platform configuration.
