In line with the ambitions of Greater Manchester鈥檚 Transport Strategy to create an integrated and sustainable transport system, Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is assessing options for the extension of the Metrolink network. As part of this programme, 91影视 has fulfilled the Transport Case Advisor (TCA) role on several corridors across Manchester, including:

- Manchester Piccadilly to Marple / Rose Hill Marple
- Manchester 鈥� Glossop / Hadfield / Stalybridge
- Oldham 鈥� Ashton
- Northern Loop
- South Manchester 鈥� Warrington (via Irlam)
Working within an integrated team incorporating modelling, environmental and engineering workstreams, 91影视 was responsible for the developing the Strategic Outline Case (SOC), the Outline Business Case (OBC), Option Assessment reports, Need for Intervention reports and Appraisal Specification reports.
