The Greater Manchester (Light Rapid Transit System) (Ashton Moss Variation) Order 2001
This Order amends the Greater Manchester (Light Rapid Transit System) (Ashton-under-Lyne Extension) Order 1998 so as to authorise Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive to construct works intended to form part of the proposed Piccadilly to Ashton-under-Lyne extension of its Metrolink rapid transit system on an alternative alignment across Ashton Moss to that originally authorised by the 1998 Order. By virtue of the amendments so made to the 1998 Order, powers contained in the 1998 Order including powers of compulsory purchase apply in relation to the works for the alternative alignment as now authorised.
