Altrincham Interchange is a transport hub in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, England; it is owned and managed by the Bee Network. It consists of a bus station on Stamford New Road, a Northern Trains-operated heavy rail station on the Mid-Cheshire Line, and a light rail stop which forms the south-western terminus of two Manchester Metrolink lines. The original heavy rail element of the station was opened by the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJAR) as Altrincham and Bowdon in April 1881, changing to Altrincham in May 1974. The Metrolink element opened in June 1992. The interchange underwent a complete redevelopment in 2013/14. It joined the Bee Network on 5 January 2025; the trains running through the station will join by 2030.
