Metrolink Improvement

Additional Metrolink vehicles (27 new trams) and associated infrastructure - enabling the use of more double unit vehicles between Bury and Altrincham, and Shaw and East Didsbury. To increase Metrolink capacity into and through the Regional Centre, in order to facilitate continuing economic growth and access to services and encourage mode shift. "

Holmes and Watson head to The Daily Telegraph and place an ad to draw out the criminal. It reads: "To-night. Same hour. Same place. Two taps. Most vitally important. Your own safety at stake. Pierrot." The trap works and Holmes catches the criminal: Colonel Valentine Walter, the brother of Woolwich Arsenal's chief. He confesses to working for Hugo Oberstein to obtain the submarine plans in order to pay off his debts.
