The boss of Metrolink has apologised after passengers have faced four days of disruption. It comes after an overhead line came down near Victoria station at 'the worst possible time' on Sunday (June 11), while festival goers were partying at Parklife and football fans prepared for Soccer Aid at Old Trafford.
Engineers have since been working around the clock to restore full service on the Bury and Rochdale lines, but the problem has not been easy to fix. With hopes that services could finally be running back as normal tomorrow morning (Thursday), head of Metrolink Danny Vaughan told the Manchester Evening News he is 'very sorry' to passengers who have faced disruption.
"It has been a very, very complicated repair, which we're not quite through yet," he said. "But we're aiming to get a full service back up on Thursday morning.
