Exchange Square tram stop is a stop in the City Zone of Greater Manchester's Metrolink light rail system, in Exchange Square opposite the Manchester Arndale shopping centre in Manchester city centre. It is part of the Second City Crossing (2CC).[1][2]
Construction began in 2014 and the line to the stop was tested in November 2015.[3] The stop opened as a north-facing terminus on 6 December 2015 with trams running to Shaw and Crompton, until the full Second City Crossing was completed in early 2017.[4][5][6] Once the Second City Crossing opened in February 2017, services extended to East Didsbury, and the Rochdale services joined the 2CC.[7]
