About
Market Street tram stop is a key hub on Manchester’s Metrolink network, situated in the city centre. Originally opened as a one-way stop, it was later upgraded to a two-way island platform to accommodate increased demand. Known for its convenient location, it provides easy access to shops, markets and other central landmarks. Trams are frequent, making it a straightforward option for navigating the city and surrounding areas. The tap-in, tap-out system simplifies travel for commuters and visitors alike. Its position on the former single-lane road reflects its evolution alongside Manchester’s transport infrastructure.
Customer Reviews
I've probably used this tram stop more than any other on the Metrolink network as it's located right in the heart of Manchester city centre. The trams are frequent enough that you can just turn up and there'll be one along soon.
Trams are regular and makes it very easy to get around Manchester and surrounding areas. Reasonably priced, and easy to the tap in/tap out feature (although people seem to have a habit of standing in front of the contactless readers). Well located outside of the shops, and fully accessible for those with disabilities and additional needs.
