Bowker Vale
Manchester Metrolink tram stop
Bowker Vale is a tram stop in the suburban areas of Bowker Vale and Blackley, Greater Manchester, England. It is on the Bury Line of Greater Manchester's light rail Metrolink system.
The station is adjacent to the site of the original Bowker Vale railway station, opened on 26 September 1938 by the London Midland and Scottish Railway. The architecture of the station buildings and footbridge is a striking example of 1930s concrete design, perhaps inspired by the developments on the London Underground at the time. The tram stop opened to passengers on 6 April 1992 as part of Phase 1 of the system's expansion and is on the border between the Metropolitan Borough of Bury and Manchester, England.
