City Centre

Piccadilly Gardens is a tram stop in the City Zone of Greater Manchester's Metrolink light rail system. It is located beside Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester city centre, and serves both as a transport hub (by integrating with the adjacent Manchester Piccadilly bus station), and interchange station (which can be used for changing between Metrolink lines).

Piccadilly Gardens tram stop opened on 27 April 1992, as part of Metrolink's Phase 1. The station was rebuilt during 2009 with a wider platform and a new canopy, reopening on 2 November 2009. Part of the City Zone, the stop is one of the most used on the Metrolink network.

Services mostly run every 12 minutes on all routes.
