Questions about Trafford Palazzo

05:30, Monday to Thursday. Saturday and Sunday both start later; the table above has each day.

The last one leaves at 00:17, 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 22 minutes to St Peter's Square on the Red Line, and the journey planner will do any other pair of stops.
