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.

Bombardier Tram at Queens Road Metrolink Depot
Metrolink Bombardier M5000 tram number 3023 stands at the Queens Road depot ready to operate on the Abraham Moss to Bury service.
Metrolink’s Queens Road Depot occupies a 10-acre site on the western side of the Bury line. It was constructed during Metrolink’s initial phase which opened in 1992 and it served jointly as a control centre, HQ, office space, and depot for the storage, maintenance and repair of vehicles. This is an overall view taken from the Queens Road bridge, looking towards the city. The Queens Road tram stop on the line to and from Bury are to the left.
In 2013 Metrolink transferred its main operational functions from Cheetham Hill to the newer depot at Old Trafford which was built in 2011 to cope with the network’s expansion.
