History
The railway originally served Bury Bolton Street which is now the Bury railway station of the East Lancashire Railway. The railway between Manchester and Bury Interchange was redeveloped in the early 1990s to become part of the Manchester Metrolink network, forming the northern terminus. The interchange is managed by TfGM and has recently been refurbished, improving facilities and security for passengers.
In 1994, pensioner Shirley Leach was murdered at the interchange on her way home from visiting her sick daughter in hospital. Despite the case going cold, DNA evidence finally convicted her killer in 2006.
