Besses o' th' Barn tram stop
Besses o' th' Barn is a stop on the Bury Line of Greater Manchester's light rail Metrolink system. It is located in the Besses o' th' Barn area of the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, England. Although the line was built in 1879 by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, it was not until 1 February 1933 that Besses o' th' Barn railway station was opened by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, to cater for a large new housing development in the area. In 1992 the station, which was on the national rail network, became a stop on the Metrolink network. The station is in the network's Ticketing Zone B. It is unique, as it is the only original station on the Bury-Manchester line to have one island platform.
