Passengers were warned to expect disruption on Metrolink services after a tree fell onto a Greater Manchester tramline. Services on the Rochdale via Oldham line were part-suspended this afternoon (July 12).
Services on the line ran between Rochdale town centre and Westwood, in Oldham. There were also trams running between East Didsbury and Newton Heath and Moston, through Manchester city centre.
It meant the Failsworth, Hollinwood, South Chadderton and Freehold stops were out of service. Metrolink tickets were accepted on a number of local bus services.
