Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJA)
A suburban railway opened in 1849, which operated a 8.5 mile route between Altrincham in Cheshire and London Road Station (now Piccadilly) in Manchester.
The southern part of the route has been part of the Manchester Metrolink light rail system since 1992. The northern section between Manchester Piccadilly and Deansgate stations is now an intensively-used section of the National Rail network, used by trains running north and west of Manchester.
