History

Some of the tram tracks around Village run very close to the alignments of the now derelict Trafford Park Railway.

In 2013, the GMCA and the Greater Manchester Local Enterprise Partnership announced that it may fund the construction of the Trafford Park Line as far as The Trafford Centre, estimating that the line could be open to passengers by 2018/19, subject to a satisfactory business case, Transport and Works Act Order and public consultation.

The stop opened to passengers on 22 March 2020, and the first passenger service tram stopped at Village just before 06:43.

Services run every 12 minutes on all routes. Some routes only run during peak times.
From this stop, services run to Castlefield in Manchester city centre in one direction and to The Trafford Centre in the other.
