You may have heard but this summer sees comeback concerts by Oasis at various places across the UK. This will include both Edinburgh and Manchester where trams will play a major role in transporting people to attend the gigs. To this end the Bee Network have announced their plans for transport, including a revised tram service to give the highest capacity possible on the Bury line.<\/p>\n

The transport plan is complicated by the ongoing engineering works in Manchester City Centre which means there are no trams running between Piccadilly Gardens and Piccadilly Station. To manage the capacity best it has been decided that a 6 minute frequency shuttle service will run between Bury and Victoria with the normal Altrincham-Bury service suspended.<\/p>\n
