'Severe delays' on Metrolink line due to points fault - latest travel updates
There are severe delays on the Altrincham Metrolink line this this afternoon, Transport for Greater Manchester has announced. The organisation says no trams are running from Altrincham to Old Trafford, as of 2.15pm. It's been caused by a 'points fault'. Passengers can use tram tickets on four bus services, TfGM added. They are the 245, 263, 255, and 256.
"Customers can use their tickets and passes on the 245, 263, 255, 256 bus services." The disruption comes after passengers using the Bury line faced days without full service due to overhead wires breaking in a thunderstorm. That meant no trams could run on Sunday evening, leaving thousands of Parklife festival-goers searching for other options to get home. This is a live news story, with more to follow.
