About the Green Line

The Green Line runs between Altrincham and Bury, calling at 25 stops. End to end it takes about 63 minutes.

There is no Green Line service on Sundays. The corridors it covers are served by other lines that day.

It shares track or platforms with Blue Line, Navy Line, Pink Line, Purple Line, Red Line and Yellow Line at 25 of its stops, so a lot of journeys that look like a change are really just a different tram from the same platform.
