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 The Central Park Urban Regeneration Area 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). http://www.metrolink.co.uk/stationinfo/results/index.asp Metrolink http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park_Metrolink_station Wikipedia
