The highest number of cancellations came on January 13, when eight services were cancelled in just one morning. NET were asked about the scale of cancellations this month and to set out what the technical issue was that caused severe delays on Thursday morning.The operator confirmed an issue with sand was partly to blame for Thursday's disruption.
"However, we're always committed to getting the service back up and running as soon as it's safe to do so. We also operate an emergency bus replacement service to further minimise disruption for our customers during those occasions when our tram services are not able to operate.
