Location

Burton Road is a stop on the South Manchester Line of Greater Manchester's light rail Metrolink system, on Burton Road in West Didsbury, Manchester, England.

The stop opened on 23 May 2013. It was built in a cutting on a section of abandoned railway which was re-opened for light rail operation. The line originally opened in 1880 as the Manchester South District Line, which ran trains from Manchester Central railway station. The route closed in 1967. Trams now run from East Didsbury through Burton Road to Manchester city centre tram stops and on to Rochdale Town Centre.
