Opening to the public on 25<sup>th<\/sup> August 2015 \u2013 along with the entirety of the Phase Two extensions \u2013 this is a pretty standard stop with everything you have come to expect from a tramstop on NET: shelters, passenger information displays, ticket machines, bins, information boards and lighting.
