Market Street and Shudehill Metrolink stops to close for nine days in August

Two city centre Metrolink stations are set to close for nine days in August while maintenance work takes place.

The Market Street and Shudehill stops will close from Saturday, August 8 to Sunday, August 16.

Services will not run between Victoria and Piccadilly Gardens while the closure is in place, but services between St Peter's Square and Piccadilly Gardens will continue.

The work is set to take place on the corner of the High Street and Market Street, outside of Debenhams, but access to businesses will not be affeted.

Transport for Greater Manchester’s Head of Metrolink Danny Vaughan said: “To minimise any impact on our customers, we will undertake these works before schools return fully in September and more and more people return to work.

“Contactors will also be working 24 hours a day to ensure they’re completed as quickly as possible, minimising any disruption to local city centre businesses.

“All city centre stops are within walking distance of each other and walking routes will be signposted throughout works, but we would advise passengers to plan their journey in advance and allow extra time where possible.”
