Questions about Rochdale Town Centre

the Pink Line.

Yes, for Pink Line. Trams terminate here, wait and set off again, so you can always get a seat in the other direction.

05:56, Monday to Thursday. Saturday and Sunday both start later; the table above has each day.

The last one leaves at 00:41, after midnight — it still counts as the previous day’s service, which is why timetables write it as a time past 24:00. Friday and Saturday run later still.

About 58 minutes to St Peter's Square on the Pink Line, and the journey planner will do any other pair of stops.
