Droylsden is a tram stop on the East Manchester Line (EML) of Greater Manchester's light-rail Metrolink system. It opened on 11 February 2013,[2][3] after a three-day free trial for local residents.[1] The station was constructed as part of Phase 3a of the Metrolink's expansion, and is located in Droylsden town centre,[4] a part of Tameside, England.
History
Before the station opened, there was much controversy surrounding the development of the Metrolink line, with many Droylsden residents complaining about the disruption to traffic and local businesses.[5] It is mainly due to these concerns that a three-day free trial service was run for local residents.[1]
Droylsden Metrolink station was the terminus of the East Manchester Line until 9 October 2013,[6] when services were extended eastwards to Ashton-under-Lyne Metrolink station.[7]
Services
Services are mostly every 12 minutes on all routes.
