Woodlands Road was a tram stop on the Bury Line of the Metrolink system in the Cheetham Hill area of north Manchester, England.
[2] Woodlands Road, Bowker Vale and Besses o' th' Barn stations were added to the line in 1913, in an attempt to fend off growing electric tramway competition in the Cheetham Hill area.
The UK Government announced that £4 million from the Community Infrastructure Fund was awarded to build two new stops on the Bury Metrolink line.
This was part of £30 million allocated to transport projects to support thousands of extra homes being built across the country over the coming months.
The Chairman of the Greater Manchester Integrated Transport Authority, Councillor Keith Whitmore, stated that the funding would help realise a long-held ambition to open new Metrolink stops in the area.
