Getting the tram at Timperley

Timperley is served by two lines, Green Line and Purple Line, so you get roughly twice the service of a single-line stop. It is about 21 minutes from St Peter's Square in the city centre on the Green Line, and 10.4 km away on the ground. On the Green Line it is stop 23 of 25. On the Purple Line it is stop 15 of 17. On a Sunday the Green Line does not run, so the service here is thinner than the rest of the week. Counting both directions, 262 trams call on a normal weekday.

Questions about Timperley

the Green Line and the Purple Line.

05:35, Monday to Thursday. Saturday and Sunday both start later; the table above has each day.

The last one leaves at 00:43, 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 21 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 Purple Line call here that day.
