A revised service pattern will be in place on Metrolink for much of the remainder of the day, while engineers repair damage to an overhead line.
While power has been restored to allow trams to operate, there remains some disruption and delays, with services unable to run into or through Deansgate-Castlefield.
While repair work takes place, the following revised service pattern is expected to be in place from around 3pm until further notice:
- Altrincham – Cornbrook
- Eccles – Cornbrook
- Manchester Airport – Firswood
- East Didsbury – Firswood
- Rochdale Town Centre – Exchange Square
- Bury – Ashton-under-Lyne
- Trafford Centre – Wharfside

TfGM’s Network Director for Metrolink, Ian Davies, said: “We are sorry to anyone whose journey has or will be impacted because of today’s disruption. Power has now been restored, and the cause has been identified as damage to overhead lines near to Deansgate-Castlefield Metrolink stop.
“Specialist engineers will be making repairs today and staff will remain out on the network to assist passengers with their journeys. We have had to make some changes to services while the repair work takes place, and I’d encourage people to continue to check the Bee Network app, website and social channels for the latest information and advice for the remainder of the day.”
