Date published: 11 February 2013
Peter Cushing, Metrolink Director
Metrolink trams have started running across Beal Lane in Shaw as part of a driver route training programme.
The traffic will be controlled by a signal on the junction with the layout is clearly signposted from both approaches along Beal Lane.
However, pedestrians and motorists are still reminded to take care on the lane, which is near the new Shaw and Crompton Metrolink stop.
The trams will not be carrying passengers.
Peter Cushing, Transport for Greater Manchester Metrolink Director, said: “It has been a few years since road users will have seen trains crossing Beal Lane at this point, when the former heavy rail line was in operation.
“Although changes at this junction have been clearly signposted, we encourage road users to take care and familiarise themselves with the new traffic signals and junction.”
