G-Mex is to the rear of the G-Mex Centre (Greater Manchester Exhibtion Centre). This opened in 1986, following conversion from the former Manchester Central station which had closed in 1969. The tram stop sits at southern edge of the former station throat, and the Altrincham/Eccles line travels south from here along the former Cheshire Lines Committee viaduct. The platforms here are staggered—the end of each platform marks the point where trams switch between street running mode and segregated running mode. There is a footbridge over Whitworth Street, connecting G-Mex and its tram stop to Deansgate railway station, which sits atop a parallel viaduct
