Good morning,

All being well I am going to Manchester for the day in a couple of months time and want to "Play" on the trams, using the new city link too. I can not seem to find a map online of the whole UPDATED network that will print the whole network on A4 paper. It does the middle part but looses the outer areas. Does anyone have any links, I could try? Thank you.

Also is a day pass for all day Saturday £ 5.40, how would that compare with buying single tickets, I think a single is valid for 2 hours, not sure though if that would allow me to do, Piccadilly Railway Station, to Man Victoria, to Deansgate, back to Picc.?

There is a full updated copy of the map on the TfGM site.

As for fares, yes it is £5.40 for a day ticket but singles to stations in the city zone, which stretches from Piccadilly to New Islington, Victoria and Deansgate (also via both Market Street and Exchange Square) are £1.20, so it depends on how many journeys you're going to make. You could do Piccadilly to Victoria for £1.20, Victoria to Deansgate via Exchange Square/2CC for £1.20 and Deansgate back to Piccadilly for £1.20, so £3.60 for all.

That sounds to me like you need to adjust a printer setting. Use something like 'scale to fit page' (exact wording and where you find the setting varies according to printer).

Thanks, I did try that infact but to no avail. I shall search around until I find something that works.
