Festival-goers and football fans are facing travel chaos this evening after Transport for Greater Manchester announced that major tram lines will remain shut overnight.
Revellers hoping to travel through Manchester using the tram after Parklife festival, using the Heaton Park stop, have been told the Bury line will remain suspended for the rest of the day due to damage to the overhead line at Victoria.
The news comes as a blow to thousands on what is one of the busiest weekends of the year, particularly for those at the Parklife festival and Soccer Aid, who will need to seek alternative travel arrangements.
