The section through Manchester city centre is on Street running with the Yellow line being the only Metrolink route to run direct between Market Street and Piccadilly Gardens with all other Metrolink city centre routes from Victoria either going towards St Peters Square or via Exchange Square. The route under Piccadilly station is in a tram only tunnel shared with the Purple, Blue and Orange Metrolink routes.
