Hollinwood tram stop

Hollinwood tram stop stands in the Hollinwood area of Oldham, Greater Manchester. It occupies the site of a former railway station that opened in 1880 and closed in 2009. The original station was rebuilt in the 1990s when the M60 motorway cut through part of the site. After conversion to a tram stop, it reopened in 2012 as part of the Manchester Metrolink network. The stop serves as both a tram station and a park-and-ride facility. The tram stop is worth the journey for its role in connecting Oldham to Manchester and beyond. It links to key destinations such as Manchester Victoria, Shaw & Crompton, and Rochdale. Regular tram services run every half-hour, providing convenient access to the city and surrounding towns. Several bus routes also meet here, including services to Oldham, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Huddersfield. This makes Hollinwood a useful hub for travel across Greater Manchester. Visitors find a modern tram stop with clear platforms and shelter. The surrounding area includes Tweedale Way, where buses stop near the station. Manchester Road nearby offers additional transport links. The tram stop sits close to the M60 motorway, making it easy to reach by car. The site reflects both its railway past and its role in today’s public transport network.
