   The line mentioned may have been dug up in Cheadle Heath but land has been set aside through the Mersey valley from East Didsbury, via Gorsey Bank, the Pyramid and onto the bus station

   Pigs might fly!! I remember property being bought up on Bramhall Lane in the 1950's for the Hazel Grove by-pass which still hasn't been built! So much for promises.

   Well, the trams could have run from the G-Mex Centre to New Mills via Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Heaton Mersey, Hazel Grove and Disley. Unfortunately, the great visionaries of the '70s dug up the track and built on the bed between G-Mex and Cheadle Heath.
