Metrolink Back Online After Major Upgrade | Manchester News

Metrolink’s biggest upgrade ever is finally complete — Eccles, Trafford Centre, and Altrincham lines are back up and running after a three-week shutdown for track replacement and station upgrades. The $150 million project lifted speed limits from 5 to 20 mph, eliminating chronic bottlenecks on one of the busiest corridors. But don’t relax yet: major disruptions loom later this month, with no trams between Victoria and Rochdale (Aug 15–16) and Oldham Mumps to Rochdale (Aug 17–28), plus no service through Exchange Square during the same weekend due to Manchester Town Hall work. Buses will replace trams in affected zones. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
