The line either side of Weaste tram stop runs along Eccles New Road, but the stop itself is on a section of reserved track. The Eccles line stop is next to the former Salford City Transport's Weaste tramshed. This passed as a bus depot to SELNEC and Greater Manchester Transport, who closed it in 1986. There are plans to develop it as an apartment block.
