Manchester Metrolink Upgrade

Post by bGriff »

Hi,

Are there any current plans to release a patch for the route to include the small spur coming off the Eccles line to MediaCity:UK?

To the best of my limited knowledge I am not aware of any updates to this route. From a personal point of view it would be "nice" for a version to include the current new extension out to Rochdale, but as the real thing is currently being built . . .

It's something that I can consider after my other project is complete :wink: .

However, if someone wishes to take the task on, I'm all ears :)
(Just ask / let me know!)
The points for the spur are already in place, therefore extending the track to Media City won't break any existing paths, which is a great bonus :)

Hopefully the branch will be included, would be quick to make activities...just need to make a blank activity and thats it...realistic enough :lol:

Or...leave the branch and fail the activity at the spur 'Activty ended - you hit a OHLE post again..' :lol:

as work on extending the real metrolink continues at a pace I thought I'd ask this question again... will there ever be a Phase 3 to this fantastic route?

I think Terry's response earlier in the thread answers that question for you.

Maybe after NWE is complete.
