Metrolink Closures & Free Bikes | Manchester News

Metrolink’s Altrincham, Eccles, and Trafford Centre lines are shut down through August 2nd for a $150M track upgrade—here’s the catch: commuters get 20 minutes free on Starling Bikes daily to ease the pain. Available at key hubs like Firswood and Salford Quays, this active travel incentive aims to keep you moving while trams are offline, especially during big events like Manchester Day and Comic Con. It’s a temporary fix for a long-term upgrade: smoother, faster, safer transit for Greater Manchester. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
