Metrolink tram number 3045 stops at Holt Town, on a journey from Ashton to Rochdale. Holt Town is an off–road stop between the road called Holt Town and the River Medlock. Heavy duty concrete piling rigs were used to create concrete retaining walls for the stop. There are two side platforms with steps and track level pedestrian crossings at both ends. An outbound platform ramp and inbound footpath have been provided at the city centre end (http://www.lrta.org/Manchester/ashton.html Light Rail Transit Association). The Holt Town stop is connected to the City Link footpath, part of the pedestrian route from the City Centre for the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
