The Stockport tram extension was proposed in 1999, but dropped in 2004 on cost grounds.
An extension to the line from East Didsbury to Stockport was first planned in 1999, and GMPTE applied for powers to build it.
However much of it was built on or filled in after closure, making re-opening more difficult, so the proposed line would have included some new infrastructure and street running sections to take it into Stockport.
[1] 2015 plans revive the idea of extending the line from East Didsbury to Stockport, but via a different route using some existing rail lines, with no mention of a station at King's Reach.
