Salford: Metrolink

Extending the service to more people and places
The TIF proposals include better Metrolink connections and more trams to increase passenger capacity to and from Eccles and Salford Quays/ MediaCity:UK to a wide variety of new destinations, thanks to an expanded tram network.

Frequency of the service
The frequency of trams to Pomona, Exchange Quay, Salford Quays, Anchorage and Harbour City will double to every six minutes by autumn 2010.

By summer 2012, the new connections will mean trams every 12 minutes from:

  • Eccles to Ashton-under-Lyne
  • the new MediaCity:UK development to Ashton
