A Metrolink tram passes Warth on its way to Bury. This line was originally on a 1200v DC third Rail system. It had been electrified in 1916. In the early nineties, it was converted to an LRT line, operating trams running with current from overhead wires. The route was renamed Metrolink and now also runs through the streets of Manchester and then onto lines out to Alrincham and Eccles.
