Bury Metrolink line suspended and delays reported due to heatwave

All trams on the Bury Metrolink line have been suspended due to the heatwave's soaring temperatures, transport bosses have revealed. Delays elsewhere on the network due to the weather are also being reported.

Metrolink revealed 'severe weather conditions' had led to the closure of the Bury line, as temperatures in the region push towards a sweltering 40C. Damage, they said, had been caused to the overhead power lines.

There are also no trams operating between Abraham Moss in Cheetham Hill and Manchester Victoria.
