Two men in their 50s have been taken to hospital within a few days of each other at the end of July following separate incidents involving Manchester Metrolink trams.
In the first incident at around 1845 on Friday 24th July a cyclist was taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries after he was hit by a tram at Benchill tramstop on the Airport line.
Whilst the incident was dealt with Metrolink services were suspended between Robinswood Road and Roundthorn.
Then, on Wednesday 29th July a man suffered potentially life-changing injuries after he got trapped climbing into the space between two coupled trams at Market Street tramstop.
A major Police incident was declared with a cordon in place around the tramstop both whilst the man was freed and also after he was taken to hospital to aid an investigation.
In this latter incident trams from Bury terminated at Victoria with those from Ashton being turned at Piccadilly.
