History

The original proposed included a "Lostock Parkway" stop, just south of the eventual location on the disused Trafford Park Railway freight line by Park Way (A5081).[4] During the construction period the stop was known as EventCity, but was renamed before the line opened by Transport for Greater Manchester in 2020 as the venue known as EventCity had already announced plans to move elsewhere.[5]

Services

From this stop a service runs generally every 12 minutes towards Cornbrook and towards the Trafford Centre.
