Tram users have issued the Metrolink ‘don’t forget’ warning amid engineering works

Commuters in Greater Manchester looking to get out and enjoy the sun today (Sunday June 2) by hopping on a tram have been reminded by the Bee Network that for many lines, “trams will not be running”.

Replacement buses are being put in place for affected Metrolink passengers, including people traveling to and from Manchester Airport, as well as those traveling to the AO Arena for the Manchester Thunder v London Pulse netball match.

The planned engineering works disrupt all Metrolink services operating through Victoria Station. This means that tram users on the Bury, Rochdale, East Didsbury and Airport lines will not be able to use the light rail network for the whole day.

Bury services terminate at Queens Road, Rochdale services at Monsall and the East Didsbury line will terminate at Exchange Square.

Any trams from Manchester Airport will only go as far as Cornbrook, while Altrincham passengers will need to get off at Etihad Campus.

Posting on X, the Bee Network said: “Riding the tram today? Remember, no trams will run through Victoria. If you travel on the Bury, Rochdale, East Didsbury and Airport lines, replacement buses will be in place between the affected stations. .”

Staff are said to be on hand to assist passengers with these replacement bus services, most of which run at 15-minute intervals until around midnight.
