Row over plans for late night Metrolink tram trial that 'cuts across side of Manchester'
Calls have been made again for late night trams, this time at Manchester council – but political parties cannot agree on the details of the proposal. The Lib Dems called for a three-month trial of a night tram on the Eccles via Media City to Ashton-under-Lyne service at a council meeting this week.
But much like in the neighbouring city, there were disagreements during the full council debate at Manchester Town Hall on Wednesday . Council leader Bev Craig said her Labour administration is already 'pushing hard' for trams to run until 1am on Friday and Saturdays night from next year.However, she said passenger numbers have not returned to pre-pandemic levels and even then, they were at around 22 pc capacity in the final hour.
"I'm happy to work together. But what I'm not happy to do is copy and paste a motion that even Salford City Council didn't pass." However, Manchester's council leader said that the Lib Dem motion needed to be amended so much that it would have changed beyond what is permitted. Councillors did unanimously approve two other motions at the meeting.
