The first section of the route is Altrincham - Piccadilly via the network busiest station Cornbrook due to serving every line on the network. This section of the route features some magnificent stations and landmarks for example the refurbished Interchange for buses, trams and the trains that run along side and kind of share rail with each other in some places until they get to Navigation Road where the train split to go to Manchester Piccadilly. The second place is Old Trafford (and the depot of course) which serves and represents the cricket and finally Piccadilly Gardens which represents the bus station next to it but most importantly the lovely gardens. The second section of the route is Intu Trafford Centre - Cornbrook this section of the network is new it first opened in April 2020 to serve the Trafford Centre Shopping Plaza. There is many iconic places on this section of the network such as: Wharfside where the Manchester United Football Ground is just in view, secondly Imperial War Museum this stop serves the war museum right next to the canal, third and finally Intu Trafford Centre as mentioned earlier this stops serves the Trafford Centre Shopping Plaza.
