Getting the tram at Cornbrook

Cornbrook is one of the busier stops on the network — 6 of the seven lines call here, which is why there is a tram every few minutes rather than every quarter of an hour. It is about 6 minutes from St Peter's Square in the city centre on the Navy Line, and 1.8 km away on the ground. On the Green Line it is stop 16 of 25. On the Navy Line it is stop 6 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, 1122 trams call on a normal weekday.

Questions about Cornbrook

Yes. 6 lines call here — Green Line, Navy Line, Pink Line, Purple Line, Red Line and Yellow Line — and on Metrolink you change on the platform, so there is no walk between stations.

05:02, Monday to Thursday. Saturday and Sunday both start later; the table above has each day.

The last one leaves at 00:52, 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 Navy Line, and the journey planner will do any other pair of stops.

Yes: the Green Line does not run on Sundays, so only Navy Line, Pink Line, Purple Line, Red Line and Yellow Line call here that day.
