Secrets of the Manchester Metrolink | Zone 1

Description
Hello! It turns out there aren't actually too many videos regarding the Manchester Metrolink on YouTube. So I thought I would look at every line and (pretty much) every stop - of which there are 99 to explore. In this series I'll be looking at the history of the stops, the general facts and some facts which you may not have known about! In this first episode I'm looking at 9 zone 1 stops (I'll cover New Islington later in the series). I'm covering zone 1 as its own history, as all the lines converge here - later in the series we'll look at each line individually outside of zone 1!

All your support is hugely appreciated, thank you.

Although I have used Geoff Marshall as an inspiration for this series, I am not directly trying to copy Geoff Marshall's format of 'Secrets of' hence why this video is in my own style with it being a bit longer and more in-depth than the original 'Secrets of' series on Londonist!
