Metrolink passengers are set for a service boost this summer, with the introduction of more frequent off-peak trams to cope with increasing demand.
From Monday 5 July, trams will run at least every 12 minutes across the network all day, representing a significant enhancement to the current 20-minute off-peak frequency.
In a further boost, and to increase capacity in the areas where it is most needed, a six-minute service will operate on the busiest lines at the busiest times – and later running trams will once again be in place across the weekend.
A six-minute service will operate from 7am-8pm Monday to Friday and 9am-6.30pm on Saturdays between the following destinations:
- Altrincham and Manchester city centre
- Bury and Manchester city centre
- East Didsbury and Manchester city centre
- Harbour City and Manchester city centre
- Etihad Campus and Manchester city centre
- Shaw and Crompton and Manchester city centre
