Town Centre Metrolink stop
Metrolink workers have voted to go on strike in a dispute over pay.
Members of the Unite union have voted to stage a 24-hour strike on Wednesday 11 February.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TFGM) says it will try to minimise the impact on passengers.
Andrew Fender, chairman of the TFGM committee, said the planned strike was "simply not justified". He added: "In addition to the disruption and inconvenience that strikes would cause, the impact on Metrolink revenues could eventually lead to a call for fares increases that no one wants."
