Part of the recently (June 2012) opened Metrolink “phase 3A” expansion to Oldham, Central Park Station is certainly the most impressive tram stop on the network to date, featuring a striking curved copper and glass canopy suspended by a cable-tensioned steel structure.
The station serves the Central Park urban renewal development area in north-east Manchester. It forms part of The Gateway, a £36.5 million transport interchange which will include local bus services as well as the Metrolink tram stop (
