Originally this branch was planned to reach as far as Stannington, but local opposition in that area was so strong that instead the line was terminated at Malin Bridge. The branch travels along Holme Lane and then swings off that road into Loxley New Road, where the branch's only stop, Malin Bridge, has been placed. The line carries on a few feet beyond the tram stop to end here. Presumably if the line had gone to Stannington, it would have continued along Holme Lane instead.
