Park, ride, pick up tomorrow...

A Metrolink tram
WEEKEND park and ride tram passengers are now able to leave their vehicle at Metrolink stops overnight as part of a three-month trial.
More than 2,500 parking spaces will open for Metrolink customers at 15 stops on Friday and Saturday nights — if they pick up their car before noon the following day.
Transport chiefs say it will allow Christmas partygoers to leave their cars free, and catch the tram.
The trial is at larger Metrolink car parks to make sure daytime tram users can find spaces at the smaller parks. Hollinwood, Oldham Mumps, Derker, and Shaw & Crompton stops are all included in the trial, which could become permanent if successful.
