Route Description =
Download or CD route for MSTS, CD version comes with trams and activities included plus all the required files needed to run the route.

The route extends from Bury in the North to Altrincham in the South via Manchester City centre. The spur from Cornbrook (South of G-Mex) to Eccles in the West is also included.

Athough this route is a reasonable interpretation of the "real thing", it is by no means exact. Also, many items including road traffic layout's and systems have changed since the route inception. I therfore apologise in advance if :- a) everything isn't as it is "now". and, b) everything isn't as how you remember it to be!

The route utilises features such as individual station announcements and a method of 'allowing' road traffic to have right of way over the Trams at certain road crossings. These are features that MSTS wasn't really designed to cater for, and therefore if they don't function flawlessly every time, please don't be too surprised!

The CD version of this route is available on the "MSTS: Manchester Metrolink and Crich Tramway" CD, See the separate listing for Crich Tramway.

The trams for the downloaded route are available from UKTS File 17430
