The Transport for Greater Manchester (Light Rapid Transit System) (Second City Crossing) Order 2013
This Order authorises Transport for Greater Manchester (referred to in this Order as the undertaker) to construct and operate a transit system in the city of Manchester, being an extension to the existing Manchester Metrolink system by way of a new route joining existing tramway routes from a point close to the Manchester Central Convention Complex on Lower Mosley Street to a point near Victoria Station on Corporation Street. For that purpose, the Order also authorises the compulsory purchase and temporary use of land, the diversion of existing rights of way, street works and ancillary works.
