Step ep 5: Select the method of travel you want to use. I will use the tram for this example. Step ep 6: Read the instructions and give it a go with support if you need to.

How do you get here by tram?

The Metrolink is one of the best ways to get to us as there are now THR THREE EE different stops on THREE THREE different

• lines. The MediaCityUK line (Orang

ange), Intu Trafford Centre line (Red) or the Eccles line (Light Blue). The neares est stop

• p is MediaCityUK and as this is the end of the line everyone gets off the tram.

Broadway on the Eccles line and Imperial War Museum on the Intu Trafford Centre line are nearby too. We advise that you do some practice journeys with your family so you are familiar with them before you start.
