All the work is expected to be finished by September

The Altrincham to Manchester Metrolink line closed to the public in July to allow worn-out track to be replaced.

The platforms have been refurbished and new ticket machines have been installed as part of the �100m upgrade.

The line from Bury to Manchester Victoria remains closed for refurbishments and is due to re-open in mid-September.

Passengers with season tickets will continue to benefit from reduced rates while the work is being carried out.

Michael Renshaw, GMPTE's Interim Service Delivery Director, said: "Some of the track we've replaced was more than 50 years old and passengers will notice smoother, quieter and more reliable journeys when the trams run again.

"Reductions will remain in place on weekly, four-weekly and quarterly tickets bought on or before 15 September.

"That means that passengers who buy a quarterly ticket in September could benefit from cheaper travel on Metrolink until mid-December."
