The costs and benefits

This ticket allows you to make one journey, between any two stops, within the Metrolink zones you’ve chosen.

How to buy your ticket

You must buy your ticket before your first journey. You cannot buy tickets on the tram.

The easiest way to travel is using a contactless card or device, using the smart readers on stops to pay for journeys as you go. We’ll work out the adult single or travelcard prices for your journeys, up to a daily and weekly cap.
