Zones 3 and 4 are in Trafford and if you get an annual anytime ticket you will be paying £22 more, the charge for an adult single ticket will remain £2.40, all other tickets will rise.

Peter Bagnall from the Breathe Clean Air Group said on Social Media: “Metrolink are increasing fares from the end of this month. A kick in the teeth for Climate Change and doing nothing for Air Pollution…they are supposed to be trying to get people out of cars.”
