Trafford Bar Metrolink Station serves the areas of Old Trafford and Whalley Range in Greater Manchester and lies at the junction of Talbot Road and Seymour Grove. The station is in Ticketing Zone E.

History

The station was originally called Old Trafford and was opened on 20 July 1849 by the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJ&AR). Closed as a British Rail station on 24 December 1991. The "Old Trafford" name was transferred to the former Warwick Road Station, to avoid confusion for passengers travelling to Old Trafford Football Ground, and Old Trafford Cricket Ground. It was renamed Trafford Bar when it reopened as a Metrolink station on 15 June 1992.
