Three hour service suspension for Blackpool Tramway after overhead problems

There was a complete suspension of the Blackpool Tramway service for three hours on Tuesday 12th November to allow for emergency repairs to the overhead to take place. It is not known what caused the problems but the damage was severe enough to prevent any trams running for three hours until shortly after 1100. A replacement bus service was put into operation during the disruption running as close to timetable as possible.
