It’s been a decade to remember for Greater Manchester’s Metrolink network with unprecedented expansion leading to soaring popularity.

• Trams to run on the new line from April
• Project set to complete seven months earlier than originally planned
• First major project to benefit from devolution deal
• Once complete it will signify another step towards ‘Our Network’, GM’s vision for a more integrated transport network

It’s been another record-breaking week for Vantage bus services as passenger numbers continue to go from strength to strength.

• Cost of all single journeys frozen at 2019 prices
• On average, fares will rise at a below-inflation rate of 2.2%
• New ticket offers giving early risers and part-time workers cheaper travel - building on feedback from Greater Manchester’s Good Employment Charter
• Some travelcards increase by 10p – the minimum rise possible

Metrolink’s contactless payment system hit the million-journey mark at the weekend, just four months after its launch on 15 July.
