Metrolink began testing trams on the new section of the route between the new-look St Peters Square tram stop and Exchange Square stop in the early hours of Thursday morning (1 December). The transformational Second City Crossing, due to open to passengers early next year, will allow Metrolink to run more frequent tram services through the city centre and across the 93-stop network. The new line “ which connects the expanded St Peters Square stop via Princess Street and Cross Street with Exchange Square and Victoria Station “ will also allow greater operational flexibility and improve service reliability.
