Manchester Metrolink services were suspended between Bury and Whitefield on Friday 29th September following reports of an overhead line fault. The report was first made at around 1100 and repairs are expected to take some time with no service due to be running until the morning of Saturday 30th September.
Trams were out on the line when the fault was discovered and some passengers were de-trammed between stations and asked to walk to Radcliffe tramstop to board replacement buses.
Following the issue it was arranged for Metrolink tickets to be accepted on local bus services 95, 97, 98, 135, 513 and 624. The Bee Network were also advising would be passengers that there were several destinations on the route which could be easily walked as well.
