Pomona is a tram stop on the Eccles Line of Greater Manchester's Metrolink light rail system. It opened to passengers on 6 December 1999, as part of Phase 2 of the network's expansion, at Pomona Docks in Old Trafford.
It was the least-used stop on the Metrolink network in 2018.[1] It was designed as an interchange station between the Eccles Line and the Trafford Park Line, which opened in March 2020.

Trafford Park Line extension
In 2016, Metrolink began construction of the Trafford Park Line, which would stem off the existing line at Pomona station.[2] Supporting concrete blocks for the track had been in place since the station opened in 1999, with the line opening on 22 March 2020.
A bridge was built to connect the new alignment on the south of the Manchester Ship Canal to the existing route. The line proceeds straight from the station, in-between the Manchester Ship Canal and Bridgewater Canal. It then begins a gradual descent onto the left bank of the ship canal and runs parallel to it.

-
