Metrolink : Pictures : Eccles route at near Salford Quays

Around Salford Quays, the maritime history of the redeveloped area the tram line runs through is most apparent. Next to the tram tracks at the top of the former No. 8 Dock, now known as Ontario Basin, these cranes have been retained as a reminder of a previous chapter in the Salford Docks' history; off-picture to the right is the Manchester Ship Canal's Dock Office, now an office block. Here a city-bound journey is seen approaching Salford Quays tram stop
