Trafford Bar is a tram stop on Greater Manchester's light rail system, Metrolink, at the junction of Talbot Road and Seymour Grove in Old Trafford. It opened on 15 June 1992 as part of Phase 1 of Metrolink's expansion, before which it was a mainline railway station.
See also: History of Manchester Metrolink. The former mainline station was opened as Old Trafford on 20 July 1849 by the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJ&AR). It closed as a British Rail station on 24 December 1991.
For the Metrolink conversion, to avoid confusion for passengers travelling to Old Trafford Football Ground and Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Warwick Road station, which was closer to the two grounds, was renamed "Old Trafford", and Old Trafford station was renamed to "Trafford Bar" when they reopened as Metrolink stations on 15 June 1992.
Due to the station's close proximity to Old Trafford football ground, it is frequently used on match-days by fans using the East Didsbury – Rochdale service,[1] though stops are also used at Old Trafford and Wharfside.
Services run every 12 minutes on all routes. Some routes (as indicated) may only run during peak times.
It is served nearby by Go North West service 53 to Pendleton via Salford Quays and to Cheetham Hill via the universities, Rusholme, Gorton and Harpurhey.
