The tram system is currently undergoing major expansion with 4 new lines under construction by 2016, and further potential extensions to Stockport and the Trafford Centre envisaged, with a Manchester City Centre "crossing" line planned to ease congestion. Work on the new lines started in late 2008 which will extend the system to East Didsbury, Ashton-under-Lyne, Oldham, Rochdale, MediaCityUK and Manchester Airport.

  • The tram system is currently undergoing major expansion with 4 new lines under construction by 2016, and further potential extensions to Stockport and the Trafford Centre envisaged, with a Manchester City Centre "crossing" line planned to ease congestion.

  • Metrolink is operated under a management contract by Stagecoach Group, on behalf of the system’s owner, the GMPTE. The Metrolink network is approximately miles ( km) long, with 37 stops along the route. Because much of the Metrolink route was formerly main-line railway with platforms about 900 mm above ground level, the new stops in the city centre also have 900 mm-high platforms.
