Proposed developments of Manchester Metrolink 🚉
The Government has signalled its support for the potential introduction of tram-trains to expand the Metrolink network.
The tram-train system, which is currently being tested for feasibility, would enable adapted Metrolink vehicles to run on the same rail lines as trains.
... In an announcement last week, Transport Chris Grayling and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said Transport for Greater Manchester would be bringing forward these proposals before the summer.
Grayling said: “Metrolink has been transformative for Greater Manchester and I want to see the network expand.
“A Greater Manchester tram-train also has the potential to seamlessly integrate our existing rail and tram tracks and services. We will work closely to explore proposals which would see Transport for Greater Manchester running more services, underlining our belief in greater local control.”
Burnham added: “Greater Manchester is a growing city-region, but our transport network and infrastructure is holding us back. The people of Greater Manchester deserve a transport system that works for us both now and in the future.
Alongside the tram-train proposals, the report earlier this month set out a potential boom in Metrolink coverage across the region, including a number of extended and new lines.
Another extension, linking MediaCity with Salford Crescent, is also being proposed.
The GMCA has committed to develop options for all of these extensions within the next five years, with some having the potential to be delivered by 2025.

8 Big Travel Predictions for 2019

NO NEED TO CRAM INTO A TINY HOTEL ROOM
One thing that city-based hotels are known for is the lack of space they tend to have. It can feel cramped when travelling on your own, let alone if you are travelling with others such as your significant other and your kids. Living on top of each other may be okay for a night or two, but much more than that and you are bound to drive each other crazy.
Serviced Apartments offer the great advantage of extra space, giving you a home from ...home experience.
Another cool aspect to a serviced apartment is that you can shop in the local markets, pick up all the freshest ingredients, and then whip up a meal since they feature full kitchens. Eating at restaurants is always nice but sometimes you crave a home-cooked meal, or perhaps you’re trying to watch the budget and spend a little less on eating out 🥖🥕🧀🥦🍇

THE DEMAND FOR SERVICED APARTMENTS IN MANCHESTER
The increase in new business and project work in Manchester is driving demand for serviced apartments in the city
👉 Last year Savills predicted that the UK’s serviced apartment sector was set for record growth, with more than 2,600 units scheduled to open and much-needed expansion in key cities across the UK, particularly in Manchester.
... 👉 And according to the Association of Serviced Apartment Providers, the UK extended-stay industry is now set for record growth this year, with a predicted 17% increase in supply, making serviced apartments one of the fastest growing accommodation sectors.
👉 Airbnb has helped drive this demand by opening travellers’ eyes to alternative ways to stay, particularly to the younger generation.
👉 And with millennials forecasted to account for 50% of business travellers by 2020, this demographic is likely to underpin future demand in the extended-stay sector in our city, for both leisure and business travellers alike.
