A few days back I took a trip down to Wrexham. The weather around these parts has slipped back into unfriendly/uncooperative mode but I didn’t feel like sitting in the house staring out of the window. It’s a relatively easy journey and it meant that I wouldn’t be sat sitting at home twiddling my thumbs.

That said it has a bustling town centre and market, plus decent-ish transport links into Manchester. Currently there’s an express guided busway but there is a feeling growing that an extension of Manchester’s Metrolink Tram system to […]
