Construction began in 2014 and the line to the stop was tested in November 2015.[3] The stop opened on 6 December 2015 with trams running to Rochdale, until the full Second City Crossing was completed in early 2017.[4][5][6] Once the Second City Crossing opened in February 2017, services extended to East Didsbury.[7]
