It was the least-used stop on the Metrolink network in 2018.[1] However, it was always designed to support development as an interchange station between the Eccles Line and the Trafford Park Line which opened in March 2020.
In 2016, Metrolink began construction of the Trafford Park Line, which would stem off the existing line at Pomona station.[2] Supporting concrete blocks for the track had been in place since the station opened in 1999, with the line opening on 22 March 2020.
A bridge was built to connect the new alignment on the south of the Manchester Ship Canal to the existing route. The line proceeds straight from the station, in-between the Manchester Ship Canal and Bridgewater Canal. It then begins a gradual descent onto the left bank of the ship canal and runs parallel to it.
Track blocks at Pomona were in place from 1999 for the provisional Trafford Park Extension.
The bridge gradually descends between the Manchester Ship Canal and the Bridgewater Canal.
The bridge connects to the existing line immediately west of the platform.
The track will run parallel to the Manchester Ship Canal.
