Location

Exchange Quay is a tram stop on the Eccles Line of Greater Manchester's light rail Metrolink system. It is located in the Salford Quays area, in North West England, and opened on 6 December 1999 as part of Phase 2 of the system's expansion. The stop serves the Exchange Quay office complex and the surrounding area. It is also often used as a stop for Old Trafford football stadium.

Exchange Quay

The station serves the Exchange Quay office complex in Salford Quays and the surrounding area. The complex, owned by Hunter Property Fund Management, consists of six office buildings, a gym, several car parks, and a retail area. Due to the station's close proximity to Old Trafford football stadium, it is frequently used on match-days by fans travelling on the Eccles and MediaCityUK services.
