Metrolink Lift Renewals Programme

Summer 2026

In order to improve the step-free access across the tram network, an investment of £1.7 million will fund the replacement of eight ageing lifts over the course of the next nine months.

Each lift replacement is expected to take around two months to complete, during which time the affected lift will be out of service.

The first pair of lifts to be replaced are at Heaton Park and Failsworth. Further pairs of lift renewal works are planned to take place sequentially at Hollinwood and Freehold then; Dane Road and Brooklands, and; Chorlton and Firswood.

This page will be updated regularly with information on upcoming lift replacements.

Funded by UK Government.
