"Tram stop, what can you say? Two platforms one for each direction. Ok. Reasonable car park, easy access to platforms, plenty of ticket machines as well as tap in tap out units. Clear announcement boards. Whilst not out of the weather, the platforms are roofed. Highly recommend if you want to get into or indeed out of Sale."

"It’s just a metrolink station, it’s clean and has a wheelchair accessible lift to take you down to the station level.
Metros run quite frequently to Altrincham Piccadilly and Bury but for all other lines would require a change at another stop.
Last time I visited all ticket machines and tap and go machines worked and the platform was relatively clean."
