Major disruption on Metrolink continues with five tram lines affected

A number of Metrolink services remain suspended this morning following damage to the overhead line.

Thousands of Soccer Aid and Parklife festival ticket holders faced travel chaos last night after Transport for Greater Manchester announced disruption on multiple major tram lines. Revellers hoping to travel through Manchester using the tram after Parklife, using the Heaton Park stop, were told the Bury line was suspended due to damage to the overhead line at Victoria.

The Ashton and Rochdale lines were also affected yesterday. Engineers have worked on the scene overnight to repair the damage, though disruption remains this morning.
