History

edit

This stop was opened along with the section between Shalesmoor and Middlewood in October 1995.[3] A spur to Malin Bridge from Hillsborough was also opened at the same time.[3] These were the final street-running tram lines to be opened on the Supertram network, and the network wouldn't be expanded again until 2018.

As of 2024, services run between Middlewood and Meadowhall Interchange every 12 minutes (at peak times).
