I have also got my Metrolink route mileage up to date as I also did East Didsbury, as this opened just after I did Droylsden and Rochdale at Easter - this network is certainly getting interesting - a far cry from the early days of just Bury - Altrincham.

Bury is indeed a sensible destination for trams from Ashton. Oldham and Rochdale would have been silly, in that it would have taken longer to get from Ashton to Oldham by tram than by bus.
