Stretford tram stop

Stretford is a tram stop on the Altrincham Line of Greater Manchester's light-rail Metrolink system.

It is located in Stretford, on the corner of Chester Road and Edge Lane.

The stop was formerly Stretford railway station, a regional rail station which was opened by the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJAR) as Edge Lane railway station on 20 July 1849, was renamed to Stretford in September 1849, and closed on 24 December 1991 for conversion from heavy rail to light rail.

There is a large car park for the tram stop on the Manchester-bound platform.
