http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-39026352A new £165m tram line, which took three years to build, is opening.
Manchester's Second City Crossing, running from near the Town Hall at St Peter's Square to Victoria Station, is the final part of a £1.5bn transport expansion plan which began in 2009.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) said its opening was "historic" and the "culmination of years of hard work".
TfGM bosses have acknowledged the works have caused major disruption for commuters and local businesses.
