DSCF0526 Manchester Metrolink car set 3020 in Rochdale - 4 Jul 2015

Saturday 4 July 2015 (1421) – Metrolink tram set 3020 heads up Drake Street in Rochdale. Between the terminus and a point just beyond Fleece Street the single track section out of the tram station becomes double. The River Roch flows under the town centre beneath the roadway and tramway near the terminus and to have had double track over the river covering would have required significant structural improvements.The red traffic signal is to stop motor traffic whilst the tram swings from the right side of the street to the left side.
