'Chaos' at Metrolink station as passengers told to leave service from Manchester

'Chaos' descended on a north Manchester tram stop after passengers were asked to leave a tram with a faulty door. Passengers spoke of a 'dreadful experience' on the Rochdale Metrolink line as dramatic scenes unfolded at Monsall station.

Images from the scene show a huge queue of passengers stood in the rain at around 6.25pm today (March 15) on the Rochdale-bound line. Several Metrolink staff appeared to be speaking to passengers in a bid to manage the queue.

An eyewitness told the Manchester Evening News: "Trams have turned to chaos this evening. Doors broke on a tram at Monsall and now 100 people are trying to cram on other already full trams."
