This is a hopeful future map of what Manchester’s transit system could look like, I’ve put a lot of work into it and would love to hear your thoughts! The three subway lines would be completely separate from the existing Metrolink network, as they would use automated light metro technology. However, Line 3 would share a tunnel with the Metrolink from Deansgate to Crumpsall and Monsall, but on separate levels, like with MUNI and BART in San Francisco.
