Getting the tram at St Peter's Square

St Peter's Square 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 the centre of the network: every line except the Green Line passes through here or within one stop of it. On the Green Line it is stop 14 of 25. On the Navy Line it is stop 4 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, 1084 trams call on a normal weekday.

Questions about St Peter's Square

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.

05:20, Monday to Thursday. Saturday and Sunday both start later; the table above has each day.

The last one leaves at 00:43, 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.

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.

1084 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.
