Getting the tram at Shudehill

Shudehill is one of the busier stops on the network — 3 of the seven lines call here, which is why there is a tram every few minutes rather than every quarter of an hour. It is about 5 minutes from St Peter's Square in the city centre on the Green Line, and 0.8 km away on the ground. On the Blue Line it is stop 12 of 27. On the Green Line it is stop 12 of 25. On a Sunday the Green Line does not run, so the service here is thinner than the rest of the week. Counting both directions, 424 trams call on a normal weekday.

Questions about Shudehill

Yes. 3 lines call here — Blue Line, Green Line and Navy Line — and on Metrolink you change on the platform, so there is no walk between stations.

05:02, Monday to Thursday. Saturday and Sunday both start later; the table above has each day.

The last one leaves at 01:03, 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 5 minutes to St Peter's Square on the Green Line, and the journey planner will do any other pair of stops.

Yes: the Green Line does not run on Sundays, so only Blue Line and Navy Line call here that day.
