Getting the tram at Victoria

Victoria is the end of the line for Navy Line: trams terminate here and start back the other way. It is about 6 minutes from St Peter's Square in the city centre on the Pink Line, and 1.1 km away on the ground. On the Blue Line it is stop 11 of 27. On the Green Line it is stop 11 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, 744 trams call on a normal weekday.

Questions about Victoria

Yes. 5 lines call here — Blue Line, Green Line, Navy Line, Pink Line and Red Line — and on Metrolink you change on the platform, so there is no walk between stations.

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

05:00, Monday to Thursday. Saturday and Sunday both start later; the table above has each day.

The last one leaves at 00:32, 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 6 minutes to St Peter's Square on the Pink Line, and the journey planner will do any other pair of stops.
