stops and Metrolink Tram stops.

At present the routes are:
-
Metroshuttle

to Chinatown, King Street, Deansgate, St Marys Gate, Market
Street and Piccadilly Gardens.
-
Metroshuttle
2 (Green): based at Victoria Rail Station and running to Albert
Square, Oxford Road Station, Deansgate Station and back along
Deansgate to Victoria Station.
A further
service into Spinningfields is planned to be introduced in 2003.

Partnership
The buses are all brand new easy access, low floor, low emission
and have been provided by a partnership between Manchester City
Council, Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE),
National Car Parks (NCP), Allied London Properties (Spinningfields),
