Pomona tram stop

A Metrolink Tram crossing the Manchester Ship Canal at Pomona, Greater Manchester

Pomona Metrolink Station is a Manchester Metrolink station seving the Pomona Docks area. Pomona is Metrolink's only purpose built elevated tram stop, sitting at the end of the viaduct over the Manchester Ship Canal. The stop serves an area around the former Pomona Docks, which is to yet to be redeveloped. Pomona is the only station on the Metrolink network to be built with ticket barriers; however these are currently not in use. The change from paper tickets currently being used on the system to more rigid card tickets being dispenced by newer ticket machines may mean that a barrier system will be used in future at the main interchanges.

The station opened as part of the first stage of the Eccles extension via Salford Quays in 1999. The station is located within Zone H.

Allowance has been made in the design of the viaduct supporting the line for an extension through the Trafford Park industrial estate to the Trafford Centre providing the funding can be provided by the government.
