Well another little bit of transport history is about to begin when trams start regularly running from the city to the airport.
It is well ahead of the scheduled opening date and offers an alternative to the existing train and bus services.
My good friend Michael Thompson has posted that from Monday pre launch test trams will be running every twelve minutes between Cornbrook and the airport and from November 3rd there will be a full passenger service.
Now it was Ruskin who said “your railway, when you come to understand it is only a device for making the world smaller” and that I suspect will be how people along the route from Wythenshawe will see the coming of the tram.
