Getting the tram at Holt Town

Holt Town is served by two lines, Blue Line and Purple Line, so you get roughly twice the service of a single-line stop. It is about 11 minutes from St Peter's Square in the city centre on the Purple Line, and 2.1 km away on the ground. On the Blue Line it is stop 17 of 27. On the Purple Line it is stop 2 of 17. Counting both directions, 312 trams call on a normal weekday.

Questions about Holt Town

05:14, Monday to Thursday. Saturday and Sunday both start later; the table above has each day.

The last one leaves at 00:51, 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 11 minutes to St Peter's Square on the Purple Line, and the journey planner will do any other pair of stops.

312 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.
