Metrolink are trialing more flexible ‘Clipper’ tickets, which might be useful for people who need to use the tram for less than 5 days a week – perhaps with a phased return to the workplace.

The trial offer is designed for flexible workers, part-time workers or anyone who travels regularly but not every day. You can buy online for your get me there smart card and won’t need to use ticket machines on stops.

About Clipper

• Each Clipper will include 10 identical Metrolink adult 1-day travelcards.
• You can choose anytime or off-peak travelcards, for any combination of zones.
• All 10 travelcards must be used within 8 weeks (56 days).
• The price for each Clipper will be the total for nine travelcards, so you get one free.

How to Buy

• You can buy a Clipper for your get me there smart card online or at a TfGM Travelshop.
  (Some Travelshops may have different opening times, so please check for latest information.)
• If you buy online, you can select a start date within the next 7 days and the first time you touch-in to travel at a smart reader on a Metrolink stop, on or after this date, your first travelcard will start automatically.
• You can buy a second Clipper or another type of travelcard, with a start date before your current Clipper expires, but they should all be anytime tickets or all off-peak tickets, and not a combination.
