Metrolink

Metrolink is Greater Manchester’s tram network. Opened in 1992 it now has lines serving Bury, Altrincham, Eccles, Oldham, Chorlton, Rochdale, Wythenshawe, Manchester Airport, Didsbury, Droylsden and Ashton under Lyne. The full network now has 93 stops, along 62 miles and is the largest light rail system in the UK. Construction work is currently taking place on an extension from Pomona to the Trafford Centre. Work on the 5.5km line, which costs £350m, began in early 2017 and it is expected to open sometime in 2020. It will include six new tram stops: Wharfside, Imperial War Museum North, Village, Parkway, EventCity and Trafford Centre.
