A new Metrolink service has been launched to help ferry football and music fans to and from the city centre. Trams which usually run from Altrincham to Piccadilly will now continue on to the Etihad stop on some evenings, and all day on Sundays.
The changes to the network’s map are shown by a dotted purple line. The alterations have been made in order to move Manchester City and Co-op Live fans to the city centre, or onwards to the Trafford town.
The new Altrincham-Etihad trams will replace the MediaCityUK-Etihad trams which only run at peak times. Try MEN Premium now for FREE...
