Going to Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield but only to disadvantaged suburbs of Manchester - Rusholme, Longsight, Moss Side, Levenshulme according to http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13391986

Even though the 2012 website promotes Manchester itself:

Much easier for people from the surrounding area to get to the city centre than the suburbs.

Smacks a bit of PC...
The route has apparently been planned so it goes within 10 miles of almost all populated areas of mainland UK.
