    Bad news for Pensioners, Commuters etc in South Yorkshire

    Metrolink weeklies and other transport options

    Metrolink does not go to Trafford Centre. Best suggestion is to start at this site http://www.tfgm.com/journey_planning/Tickets/Pages/tickets.aspx and check if any of the system one tickets suits.
