Oldhamers planning to get the tram into Manchester city centre on Sunday (June 16) have been warned of potential disruption.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has said that emergency works need to be carried out at Victoria tram stop over the weekend.
The works are set to be carried out on Sunday morning, from the start of service until about 10am.
This means that the Oldham line will end at Victoria and not continue on to Exchange Square until after the works have been completed.

Other services will be affected, with trams coming from Bury also halting at Victoria and not continuing on to Piccadilly.
As a result, TfGM has said a replacement bus service will run though the city centre at affected stops.
On Sunday [16 June], engineering works are taking place at Victoria until 10am.
