Barton Dock Road tram stop
# Barton Dock Road tram stop

Barton Dock Road is a tram stop built on the Trafford Park Line of Greater Manchester's Metrolink light rail system. The stop is located on Barton Dock Road by the remodelled Peel Circle roundabout, and was created to serve passengers boarding and alighting at EventCity and the Trafford Centre. It opened on 22 March 2020.

## History

The original proposal for the Trafford Park line included a "Lostock Parkway" stop, just south of the eventual location on the disused Trafford Park Railway freight line by Park Way (A5081). During the construction period the stop was known as EventCity, but was renamed before the line opened by Transport for Greater Manchester in 2020 as the venue known as EventCity had already announced plans to move elsewhere.

## Services

From this stop a service runs generally every 12 minutes towards Cornbrook and towards the Trafford Centre.
