Metrolink is introducing a service pattern change later this month.

The changes, which come into effect on Sunday 28 January, will see: 

• Airport line services running to Victoria* (previously Deansgate-Castlefield), providing better connections and additional capacity through the regional centre.
• Sunday services extended by approximately an hour into the evening.
• Additional platforms at Altrincham and Victoria stops brought into operation to improve reliability; customers are advised to check when using these stops.
• Services from MediaCityUK running to Etihad Campus (previously Piccadilly).
• Altrincham services that previously ran to Etihad Campus terminating at Piccadilly. 

Trams will continue to operate either a six or 12 minute frequency as now.

Metrolink staff will be on hand at key stops in the first weeks of the new pattern to explain any changes and guide customers.

Customers will also notice a change to the network map, which has been re-designed due to recent service changes and takes into consideration feedback from customers. Coloured lines have been reintroduced to make it easier to distinguish the services that operate as well as numbered flags.
