The steps up from the road to the Oldham-bound platform at the Central Park tram station. Central Park Station, part of the recently (June 2012) opened Metrolink “phase 3A” expansion to Oldham, is certainly the most impressive tram stop on the network to date, featuring a striking curved copper and glass canopy suspended by a cable-tensioned steel structure. The station serves in north-east Manchester. It forms part of The Gateway, a £36.5 million transport interchange which will include local bus services as well as the Metrolink tram stop (http://www.manchester.gov.uk/site/scripts/news_article.php?newsID=1582 Manchester City Council). Although the station is next to the Caldervale railway line between Victoria and Rochdale, there is no interchange with National Rail services. http://www.metrolink.co.uk/stationinfo/results/index.asp Metrolink http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park_Metrolink_station Wikipedia
