Edit: not till 2019.

Which creates a ticketing issue. While through tickets are available from Mid-Cheshire stations to Metrolink stops they are more expensive than tickets to Manchester via Stockport and there's no tickets allowing you to go one way and return the other. Plus there's the issue of southbound connections with Metrolink not running to a strict timetable and terminating late running services at Timperley.
