Part of Metrolink's Eccles line to close to replace 1.7 kilometres of worn track

Two tram stops on Metrolink’s Eccles line will close for ten weeks for major rail replacement work.

Track renewal work will be carried out on Eccles New Road which will result in the closure of Eccles and Ladywell tram stops from Saturday July 15 to Thursday September 21. Services will continue to operate as normal between Weaste and Manchester city centre, as well as the MediaCityUK and Trafford Park Metrolink lines.

The works will see the replacement of 1,700 metres of worn rails, according to transport bosses.
