Trams at Navigation Road station, near Altrincham, Cheshire
Car no 1020 of Manchester Metrolink heads a two-car formation on a down service from Manchester to Altrincham. The method of working this station is very unusual: the left-hand track is used by trams in both directions, while the right-hand track, which is not electrified, is used for 'heavy rail' services, usually Manchester-Stockport-Altrincham-Chester

Navigation Road railway & Metrolink station, Greater Manchester
Opened in 1849 by the Manchester South Junction & Altrincham Railway on the line from Manchester London Road (now Piccadilly) to Altrincham, this station partially converted to Metrolink operation in 1992, which is why the electric overhead wires serve only the one platform that trams serve.

Navigation Road
The last stop on the Metrolink tram line before Altrincham. On this section the tram lines run alongside the main railway line and so there is a platform on one side only creating a brief bottleneck. Immediately outside the station is a level crossing.

Be quick!
Navigation Road station level crossing: a man sprints for the train to Manchester. He's probably too occupied to notice the classic 1960s station design and typography.
