A review of Greater Manchester's Metrolink

Manchester's metro system, known as the Metrolink, is a light railway system, that connects the city centre to Greater Manchester. Regular services run on the metro, in particular, used by commuters who work in Manchester, but live within the metro's area. It runs to Bury in the north, Eccles in the west and Altrincham in the south.

Five lines The Greater Manchester Metrolink has five lines, which operate across two zones, the city zone and outside the city. Each line has a different colour, such as green for the Altrincham to Bury line, or turquoise for the Bury to Manchester Piccadilly line. Points of interest The Metrolink calls at a number of interesting sites both within, and outside the city of Manchester.
