Manchester Metrolink - Operator

Operator

Metrolink is run as a public-private partnership between Transport for Greater Manchester and private transport firms. Between 1992 and 2007 Metrolink was operated and maintained by Serco. From 2007 to 2011 it was operated and maintained by Stagecoach Metrolink — part of the Stagecoach Group — under a 10-year fixed-term management contract, which was due to run until July 2017. RATP Group bought Stagecoach's Metrolink businesses on 1 August 2011, but Stagecoach's other British light rail system, Sheffield Supertram was not sold.
