Metrolink’s second city crossing to open this month
Services will begin operating on the Second City Crossing (2CC) on Sunday 26th February, allowing much more operational flexibility across the network - not to mention a boost to capacity.
2CC marks the final jigsaw in Metrolink's £1.5bn Phase 3 "Big Bang" expansion, which has seen the network treble in size, and when the Trafford Park line opens in 2020 there will be over 100 stations on the network.
The capacity increase will allow a doubling of frequency on some lines, from 5 trams per hour to 10 trams per hour.
