I’m trying to complete the three Manchester Metrolink lines I haven’t done yet.

Rochdale - tick!

Next, I’ll go all the way to East Didsbury, to tick off that line. After that, I only have the section from Velopatk to Ashton to complete.

East Didsbury - tick

Now to head back into town. I need to eat before deciding whether to go Ashton tonight or tomorrow.

@feorag

Ashton upon Mersey was the other one I was trying to think of. The nearest tram to that is Sale, according to the Metrolink map that I just found.

@TheLancashireman Ah, but there’s still only one Ashton that is a terminus on the Metrolink. It appears to be an IKEA and an Aldi.

@feorag

I have to admit that I've never been to Ashton-under-Lyne, despite the fact that some of my ancestors came from there.
