[edit] History

The station was originally called Old Trafford and was opened on 20 July 1849 by the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJ&AR). Closed as a British Rail station on 24 December 1991. The "Old Trafford" name was transferred to the former Warwick Road Station, to avoid confusion for passengers travelling to Old Trafford Football Ground , and Old Trafford Cricket Ground. It was renamed Trafford Bar when it reopened as a Metrolink station on 15 June 1992.
