Questions about Droylsden

the Blue Line.

05:29, Monday to Thursday. Saturday and Sunday both start later; the table above has each day.

The last one leaves at 00:38, 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.

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

6.5 km in a straight line from St Peter's Square, which is why the tram takes longer than the distance suggests: it follows the track, not the crow.
