Queens Road Tram Stop Under Construction

Since the Metrolink originally opened in 1992, trams have stopped here as a staff-only halt Image] serving the Metrolink system's Queens Road depot at Metrolink House. In September 2013, http://www.placenorthwest.co.uk/news/archive/14359-work-begins-on-latest-metrolink-stop.html work began to convert it into a full tram stop. Queen’s Road stop will replace the staff halt; having steps and a lift from the road to both inbound and outbound platforms. At the Manchester (south) end there will be ramps to a foot track level crossing. When the new station is complete it will replace Woodlands Road Metrolink station as the station closest to Manchester on the Bury line.
