Metrolink’s new timetable is shaking things up—especially on the Bury and Eccles lines—with big changes aimed at boosting reliability. Bury trams now skip Piccadilly to reach Ashton-under-Lyne, giving direct access to Co-op Live and Etihad for Victoria-bound riders. On Eccles, trams now run from Piccadilly to Eccles via MediaCityUK outside peak hours, meaning transfers are needed between Ashton and Eccles. But there’s good news: peak-time service back to Piccadilly from MediaCityUK means trams every 7.5 minutes during busy hours. The goal? Trams every 15 minutes across the board, with more frequent services still on the horizon as upgrades and driver hires continue.
