Exchange Square tram stop opening confirmed

The new Manchester Metrolink stop at Exchange Square in the city centre will open on December 6, subject to successful completion of testing and commissioning work (RAIL 787).

The short spur from Victoria station to the new stop is the first phase of the system’s Second City Crossing, due to be complete in 2017. This will continue the Exchange Square spur through to St Peter’s Square (RAIL 788).

Outbound services operating every 12 minutes to Shaw & Crompton will use Platform D at the Victoria tram stop, which was also due to open on December 6.
