There are severe delays on tram services following a fault on the Metrolink system earlier today.
A broken down tram had meant no Metrolink services could operate between Trafford Bar and Cornbrook.
While the tram has now been moved and services are once again on the move, severe delays are now affecting the Altrincham, East Didsbury, and Manchester Airport lines.
📢 The tram is now on the move and services can operate through.
