Sandhills is a proposed tram stop on the Bury Line and Oldham and Rochdale Line of Greater Manchester's Metrolink light rail system. It would be located in Collyhurst between the Victoria and Queens Road stops, to the north of the city centre.
Status
The stop is a proposal in the Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2040[1] and was a manifesto commitment for Andy Burnham in the 2024 Greater Manchester mayoral election. It would support the proposed new town and inner-city development area of Victoria North.[2]
Transport for Greater Manchester funding was confirmed for the stop in June 2025.[3]
