People have spotted a key change on the new Metrolink map.<\/p>\n
A new map of all tram lines and stops was published in March as significant maintenance began<\/a> on the network over the spring and summer. Eagle-eyed regular passengers noticed a change on the Trafford Centre line, which appears to have been extended.<\/p>\n The line from the Trafford Centre now runs all the way to Crumpsall. The service previously terminated at Deansgate-Castlefield.<\/p>\n Get MEN Premium now for just \u00a31 HERE<\/a> \u2013 or get involved in our WhatsApp group by clicking HERE<\/a>.

It has not been confirmed whether this is a temporary change due to the maintenance work, or whether this will remain once the works are finished.<\/p>\n People also noticed new walking symbols on the Metrolink map between a number of stops in Salford<\/a> Quays. One Reddit user posted about the new map and wrote: “New Metrolink map! Trafford Centre trams finally going to Crumpsall. And new walking indicators in Salford Quays.”<\/p>\n Another user wrote: “Amazing, means I can change at Pomona instead of Cornbrook if I’m going to the Victoria side if town, much less hassle.”<\/p>\n Another said: “This should ease some congestion at Deansgate<\/a>. You would constantly be waiting to get in there from the south because of a tram just sat at the middle platform waiting to go to Trafford Centre.”<\/p>\n Trams on the Trafford Centre line will now run to Crumpsall(Image: Metrolink)<\/p>\n Significant maintenance work began on the Metrolink network on March 30, and will last until the autumn. Tram service frequency will change from a 12 minute service to a 15 minute service – a move transport bosses said will allow for work to take place.<\/p>\n Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) previously announced that a major programme of work will take place this year, designed to build the capacity and resilience of tracks, trams and workforce. It is part of a \u00a3150m programme of work to maintain, upgrade, and improve tram infrastructure to make sure the Bee Network continues to deliver safe, reliable and accessible services for millions more people into the future, TfGM added.<\/p>\n Transport bosses admitted, however, there will be ‘some temporary periods of disruption for passengers’. Work will take place from spring at a number of locations \u2013 including near Trafford<\/a> Bar, Deansgate-Castlefield, Monsall, Newton<\/a> Heath & Moston<\/a>, Eccles<\/a>, Derker and Piccadilly Gardens<\/a> – meaning trams will have to stop on some lines while the work is done.<\/p>\n![\"Trams](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/0_Trafford-centre-lineJPG.jpg\")
