And it isn’t just about travel in one direction. At the moment people in Stockport, along either route, find it as easy/quick to head to Manchester. Make Stockport more accessible and appealing, and you increase the chance they will go there for the cinema, as an example.
It also isn’t just about the tram. The council, as I say, are doing a fair bit to try and turn Stockport into a location where people want to a) spend time and b) live. If Stockport becomes a place where people want to come to, they need to be able to get there. At the moment it is a pain.
