Trams suspended on Metrolink Bury and Rochdale lines as emergency works take place

Widespread disruption hit Greater Manchester's tram lines this morning thanks to emergency repair works. Metrolink services were cancelled on the Bury line, with services suspended along the entire route.

Services on the Rochdale line were also not going into the city centre and only running between the Rochdale Town Centre and Monsall stops.

Metrolink says the problem was due to damage on the overhead power line near to the Irk Valley, in north Manchester. Images released by the tram operator showed emergency repairs taking place this morning (May 6).
