From Monday 6 April work will start on replacing tracks throughout the city centre. Metrolink services will run to different timetables and some bus services will take a different route into the city centre.

Posters are being put up at all 37 stops on the Metrolink network, letters have been delivered to local residents and businesses, and thousands of leaflets have been printed to hand out at tram stops and in GMPTE Travelshops.

GMPTE's Metrolink director, Philip Purdy, said: "We want to keep everybody up to date on how the tram track replacement work might affect them.

"That's not just Metrolink passengers - but other road users and people who live and work in the city centre. I encourage everyone to pick up a leaflet or go online at www.gmpte.com to find out more.”

From Monday 6 April the following Metrolink services will run: 

• every 12 minutes from Altrincham to St Peter's Square
• every 12 minutes from Eccles to St Peter's Square
• every 12 minutes from Bury to Victoria (double trams)

The following bus services will run for people with a valid Metrolink ticket:

G-Mex to Piccadilly station - every 20 minutes throughout the day, seven days a week.

Victoria - Shudehill - Piccadilly Gardens - Piccadilly station every 10 minutes (Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm) and every 20 minutes (evenings and Sundays).

The 16-year-old city centre track is being replaced as part of a £100m upgrade. The new track will help make journeys smoother, quieter and more reliable. Improvements will also be made to the tram stops at St Peter's Square and Piccadilly Gardens.

Passengers can get more information about Metrolink services at www.metrolink.co.uk or by calling Metrolink Customer Services on 0161 205 2000.

Lines are open between 7am and 11pm, Monday to Friday, and between 10am and 6pm at weekends.
