Altrincham Interchange serves the town of Altrincham in Greater Manchester, England. It was originally named Altrincham and Bowdon railway station and is located on Stamford New Road, adjacent to the Altrincham Ice Dome—home to the Manchester Phoenix ice hockey team. The station also serves as the southern terminus of the Manchester Metrolink light-rail system to and from Manchester city centre.
The station has four platforms. Two bay platforms are used for Manchester Metrolink tram services. Two further through platforms serving the Mid-Cheshire Line are used for Northern Rail train services between Manchester Piccadilly station and Chester railway station via Stockport railway station. A bus station on the edge of the complex provides road-based interchange, and there is also a taxi rank.

Famous quotes containing the word interchange:
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
