Easter Bank Holiday tram works

Friday 3 - Monday 6 April

From Friday 3 to Monday 6 April, tram improvement works will take place at Deansgate-Castlefield and Trafford Bar. During this time track renewal works will also take place between Timperley and Stretford, allowing us to reduce further closures of the Altrincham line.

The following changes will be in place across the network:

  • No trams will operate on the Eccles, Trafford Centre and Altrincham lines
  • Services operating on the East Didsbury/Manchester Airport lines will terminate at Firswood.
  • Services operating on the Rochdale line will terminate at Exchange Square.
  • Other tram service changes include: Bury - Ashton-under-Lyne, Bury/Victoria - Etihad Campus.

Replacement buses will operate between the affected stops. See below for more information.

Any ticket valid for all the tram zones of your journey is also valid on the tram replacement bus. 1-day Bee Bus tickets (adult, child, family) are also valid on tram replacement buses, but not on trams that are still operating. Full details are available in the ticketing section below.

Tram services will resume as normal from start of service on Tuesday 7 April.
