About the Navy Line
The Navy Line runs between Manchester Airport and Victoria, calling at 25 stops. End to end it takes about 60 minutes.
It shares track or platforms with Blue Line, Green Line, Pink Line, Purple Line, Red Line and Yellow Line at 10 of its stops, so a lot of journeys that look like a change are really just a different tram from the same platform.
