On this basis, I also assumed 'Mega Mall' could well be a reference to Meadowhall, the ginormous shopping centre that's also in Sheffield, though I admit this is more tenuous.
Thats exactly what I thought about Manor Top. Blatant ghetto in Sheffield, "its grim up north". The track looks exactly like the flats you'd see on the top of the hill from the city centre so I definitely go with a futuristic Sheffield/North of England on that one.

*edit* oh and as for locations, ehm, it's over 100 years in the future, who knows what the place'll look like then? Could see P-Mar Project sitting somewhere in the pennines though
Mega City? Possibly a future megalopolis of England, when all the cities join as one. You've definitely smacked it. Sorry to have been a bit late on the topic.
