I rode from East Didsbury to Shaw, and from Ashton to Picadilly Gardens today. I could have travelled from Manchester (or St Werburgh's Road) to Shaw last Christmas but am so pleased I left it til now. I was able to see the new Oldham section not quite joined near Freehold, but joined just beyond Oldham Mumps. As you will all know, it will only have been possible to travel from Oldham Mumps ex-BR to Derker by Metrolink from 16Dec12 to 17Jan14.

I rode 2001 from Market Street to Old Trafford. Could this be my final T68/A ride? I was continuing to Sale, but due to delays the driver let us all off to wait for the next tram.
