Trafford Park Metrolink

Greater Manchester Transport is planning a new Trafford Park line that will run from Pomona and stop at six new tram stations.

Wharfside (near Old Trafford), the Imperial War Museum, significant commercial locations around the industrial park, Eventcity, and the intu Trafford Centre will all be included in the route.

The 5.5km line seeks to provide quick and frequent access to jobs, leisure, retail, and cultural areas located outside of the city center. The road will be largely separated from existing traffic, resulting in more consistent travel times.

This project is a collaboration between Volkerrail, Laing O'Rourke, and Mpact Thales, with WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff serving as the Design Interface Management Delivery Partner.

The project began in November 2017 and is scheduled to be finished in November 2021.

Estimated value: £350,000,000
