As traffic levels start to increase, motorists are being encouraged to be “tram aware” in a new campaign from Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM).   

With many shops and businesses open again and schools set to return after the Easter break, Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), bus, tram and rail operators are preparing to welcome more people safely back on to public transport services.

An in-built ventilation system on Metrolink’s trams constantly circulates fresh air, helping to limit the risk of aerosol transmission of viruses, such as COVID-19, a leading independent study has found.

• Public transport services expected to get busier as non-essential shops reopen. 
• All available trams – including the first of 27 new ones – running on Metrolink and extra bus and train services being put on to help meet demand. 
• Enhanced cleaning of stations, stops and vehicles continuing and transport staff out on the network to support passengers and provide reassurance

Park and ride capacity at Mills Hill rail station is set to more than double, allowing more people to access public transport while helping to reduce congestion and improve air quality.
