Transport for Greater Manchester have launched a new interactive website which will help inspire people to use Metrolink this summer to discover all that the region has to offer by tram. The Metrolink Destination Generator provides tailored suggestions for destinations and days out across the region, in case you’re stuck on what to do.
Located at https://summer.tfgm.com/ users will be greeted with a list of pre-selected activities alongside an interactive map. Activities range from free to affordably priced, indoor to outdoor and cover food, cultural, musical and sporting destinations.
Danny Vaughan, TfGM Head of Metrolink, said: “Whether travelling a few stops or across the network, Metrolink is a convenient, value-for money and accessible way of getting around Greater Manchester. There are flexible and affordable ticketing options for all travellers, whether it’s paying as you go with contactless – never paying more than the daily cap, or making use of a one-day family travelcard which covers travel for two adults and up to three children. Whatever the weather this summer, Metrolink can get you where you want to go, and if you’re stuck for ideas our Destination Generator will help you plan your trip.”
Even if you’re not sure what you want to do, the Destination Generator can still help. You will be asked who you’re travelling with, where they are hoping to go via Metrolink, the type of day out you want and whether you’ll be travelling on a weekday or at the weekend. The generator will then give suggestions for a destination, including nearest Metrolink stop, suggested best value tickets and information about the venue and directions.
