Questions about Ashton-under-Lyne

the Blue Line.

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

05:48, Monday to Thursday. Saturday and Sunday both start later; the table above has each day.

The last one leaves at 00:26, 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.

76 a weekday counting both directions — roughly one every 15 minutes each way through the middle of the day.
