A greener future is on the way for St Peter’s Square as work started to plant 22 new semi mature trees as part of the Metrolink stop transformation.

The new St Peter’s Square Metrolink stop being delivered by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is an integral part of Manchester City Council’s flagship redevelopment of the square into a major new civic space.

The different varieties of trees, which have been grown in specialist nurseries for up to seven years, include Japanese Pagoda, Floxglove, London Plane and Pin Oak trees.

Metrolink contractor M-Pact Thales (MPT) is planting the trees as it carries out the final phase of work to build the new tram stop, due to open to passengers at the end of August.

Boasting two island platforms and two sets of track in each direction, the bigger stop will allow more frequent services to run through the city and across the network when the new Second City Crossing line opens next year. Find out more at [ Ссылка ]
