Description: Bury Metrolink Station Bury station is part of the Metrolink tram network which has just undergone a series of multi-million pound improvements. The line reopened in September 2007 after being closed for almost three months. Some of the Metrolink track on the Bury and Altrincham lines was more than 50 years old as it was used by trains before Metrolink opened in 1992. Nearly 20 miles of track has been replaced during the summer, and the platform surfaces have been upgraded to make it easier to get on and off the trams. Bury North MP David Chaytor said: “Metrolink provides an absolutely crucial link between Bury and Manchester, helping to boost the town’s local economy and making it easy to get about in Greater Manchester. I know commuters from Bury to Manchester find it invaluable". Tram journeys are now much smoother, quieter and more reliable. Metrolink information http://www.metrolink.co.uk/index.asp
