To me even allowing for the Interchange construction site Wythenshawe Town centre stop has an unfinished air about it. Here we see 3078 ready to depart, the driver kindly waited for me to get this shot.

Having noticed that there was a 24 minute gap after this tram I decided to head for Crossacres then walk up to Benchill.

which was to be Moor Road as I needed to be back at Cornbrook to meet a friend at 10 o'clock.

After completing my rendezvous i headed back out to Wythenshawe Park and Northern Moor for a final few shots.
3063 arrives at Wythenshawe Park where once again an inbound gap gave me chance to obtain a few shots

Giving up on waiting for the next tram which was still at least 16 minutes away I walked up to Northern Moor where I arrived just in time to see 3080 climbing up to the M60 bridge

and the PIDS indicated these headways.

eventually 3079 arrived to get me back to my car at Sale Water Park.

Back at Sale Water Park some six and a half hours after starting out!

Comparing the car park here with the one at East Didsbury at a similar time on the day that line opened I think there were more cars here. Early days though I guess.
