History The Eccles line for the Metrolink was approved in 1996, with the station being built on Regent Street in the town centre, next to existing bus stops. The station was opened for service on 21 July 2000, while the station was given the official opening, along with the Eccles line, in January 2001, when the Princess Royal visited the town centre. The new bus station was built next to the existing tram stop and opened in 2001, with additional stops and shelter added adjacent to the station in 2005.
