English: Metrolink Bombardier M5000 tram number 3033 passes under Princess Road as it approaches the new Withington stop, heading towards Rochdale from East Didsbury on the first day of operation for the latest extension to the South Manchester Metrolink line.
The Metrolink line to East Didsbury, which runs off road, along a disused railway track, opened to passenger service on Thursday 23 May, several months ahead of schedule. The 4.4km (2.7 miles) extension to the existing South Manchester line has five new stops, with services calling at Withington, Burton Road, West Didsbury, Didsbury Village and East Didsbury.
