  • Opening of the Trafford Park tram line 22/03/20. The new Metrolink line runs from Cornbrook to Intu Trafford Centre, calling at Cornbrook, Pomona, Wharfside, Imperial War Museum, Village, Parkway, Barton Dock Road and Intu Trafford Centre. You'll see me get off at all the stops, new and old. Had a blast riding the trams! Was also carrying my knickers round ready to put on in the TC but I forgot oopsies, not to worry haha.

    It is refreshing to have a lady presenter for a change! I was unaware that this section of the Manchester tramway was in operation. Please keep making these videos as they are of interest to those in other parts of the country where there are no trams. Thanks for uploading.

    Why did you get a train to Piccadilly after you got off at Victoria? You could have gotten an East Didsbury tram from Victoria and gone to Cornbrook from there. Did I miss something in the video, or do you just want to ride the tram on the Trafford Park line?

    Oh, made it to Manchester at last, I see. 😀 What a shame it was under such circumstances; that was probably the “softest” opening day for a new Metrolink line ever! And I’m fairly sure the Trafford Centre has never been so quiet on a Sunday!

    What a very handy video. Very nicely explained too. I'd heard about the new building of the trafford centre line late last year. I'd been looking forward to trying it out sometime this year, but wasn't very sure where the new line would start from.... until I just watched this lovely video.
    For me, it looks like it starts at Cornbrook, as that's where I would change over to, (from my original destination stops) to go on to Pomona, then on from there e.t.c. to eventually reach the Trafford Centre. (at Barton Dock)
    Looked a bit surreal inside when you got there, and it was like being the only person to be there. (maybe due to the virus, though I'm not sure) At least it was a nice day for it.

    • @GLovesTrains
