Long suffering passengers on the Bury Metrolink line will have welcome the return to:
– trams stopping at Victoria, and
– through trains to Piccadilly
both which came into force last week.

This now means that we have our six-minute service from Bury to the city centre back and a link to Piccadilly station.

The closure of Victoria and the single line operation through the station has been part of the multimillion pound Government investment in Manchester Victoria station – perviously voted the ‘worst station in the country’!

The redesigned and expanded Manchester Victoria Metrolink stop will ultimately allow more frequent and flexible services to run through the railway station as part of the new Second City Crossing and wider tram network expansion.

You can now see the beginnings of the second city crossing trackbed coming out from Victoria.

Market Street Station

The first phase of work to modernise the city centre Market Street stop is now completed – the first part of work to offer a greatly improved shelter and stop appearance whilst making it easier for passengers to move around the busy stop.

Work to reinforce the foundations was completed over the February half-term week, in preparation for a new passenger shelter being installed, with the older bus-style shelters removed in readiness for a much longer single shelter to be installed this spring.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you require further information. ​
