Perhaps, if it's popular, the service could be brought forward to run at a reduced frequency all night on Friday and Saturday nights?
I imagine the line through Didsbury would also be quite a popular 24h service

Ok. So here's my first update of the TPL. I haven't done an update like this in a while so here we go.... These pics are from Wed.
Most of the work so far has been clearing of vegetation. Here we start at Pomona.

Nothing happening yet on the bank of the canal past Sam Platts. Though I can't quite remember where the line will turn onto it.

Some of the car parks of the industrial units just past Sam Platts have holes with concrete slabs in.

This one had a little weatherproof box with a cable running into it. Possibly gathering data about the ground along the canal bank?

Tree clearing either side of the road further down.

I think this is utilities works just before Peel headquarters. There are a few large pumps around the sites and what looks like temporary mains water distribution.

Tree clearing within the grounds of the office block opposite Peel headquarters.

Fencing up on Warren Bruce road. More on this later....

Trees cleared over the past few weeks further down.

That's the last signs of work on the length I walked (I go climbing at The Depot so I often walk the route). Though I know vegetation has been cleared at Parkway Circle and the central reservation of the slip road from Village Way. There's a huge art piece in the middle of Parkway Circle. I never even knew it existed! The route alongside Park Way has been cleared for some time with what I assume is the alignment marked with pegs.
Finally, myself and my better half were driving back along Warren Bruce road later on that night. They were clearing the vegetation where the fences had been earlier.
