Location

Monsall is atram stop on theOldham and Rochdale Line (ORL) ofGreater Manchester's light-railMetrolink system in the Monsall area ofManchester inNorth West England. The Oldham and Rochdale line was built as part of Phase 3a of the system's expansion, on most of the route of the formerOldham Loop Line, and opened to passengers on 13 June 2012.^[1]

However, this station in particular is on the ex-Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway'sCheetham Hill Loop line between the former Thorpe's Bridge Junction (near Newton Heath TMD) and Irk Valley Junction, where the Oldham route joins the line fromBury en route to Victoria. This line had previously been used by Manchester toRochdale and Leeds services via theCaldervale Line to avoid the notoriousMiles Platting incline and also by trains accessing the Red Bank carriage sidings until its closure in 1998 as part of the Manchester North re-signalling scheme.
