Gallery 635: Metrolink St Peter's Square reopens - August 2016

Sunday 28th August saw the reopening of St Peter's Square to Metrolink services after a 14 month closure to allow for the major reconstruction of the stop. Although for the bulk of that period trams have been able to run through the area on a single track no passengers have been able to board trams there meaning a walk for anyone in the locality wishing to travel by tram. The new St Peter's Square has two island platforms to cater for services on the Second City Crossing (still to be completed) and both of these are in use already albeit only one platform face each. We start off in this collection on Friday 26th August when testing and commissioning of the new line started before we move on to the first day of public services showing trams passing through and stopping at the stop.

Photographs in this collection were taken by Steve Hyde & Steve Kemp on 26th & 28th August 2016.
