Metrolink

Greater Manchester's Metrolink network is one of the most successful light rail systems in the UK, carrying nearly 20 million passengers every year.

There are three lines which run from Bury, Altrincham and Eccles into Manchester city centre. The Bury and Altrincham lines opened in 1992 followed by the Eccles line in 2000 creating a network of 37 stops covering 37 km (23 miles). A fleet of 32 trams served the existing network until December 2009 when the first of our new trams was introduced.

Find out about our multi-million pound improvement plan to increase the size of the network with four new lines, a fleet of new, state-of-the-art trams, new ticket machines and improved passenger facilities and information.
