The tram line uses what was until the 1970s the primary railway route between Manchester Victoria and Rochdale. Jocelyn Street bridge's ironwork shows that the line was originally quadruple track. Additional supporting brickwork was added as part of the project to downgrade the Manchester-Oldham-Rochdale route from trains to trams.
