Getting the tram at Chorlton

Chorlton is served by two lines, Navy Line and Pink Line, so you get roughly twice the service of a single-line stop. It is about 14 minutes from St Peter's Square in the city centre on the Navy Line, and 4.4 km away on the ground. On the Navy Line it is stop 9 of 25. On the Pink Line it is stop 27 of 33. Counting both directions, 410 trams call on a normal weekday.

Questions about Chorlton

the Navy Line and the Pink Line.

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

The last one leaves at 00:53, 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 14 minutes to St Peter's Square on the Navy Line, and the journey planner will do any other pair of stops.

410 trams a weekday in the two directions together, which works out at one every few minutes through the day rather than the 15-minute gap of a single-line stop.
