Oldham residents planning to use the Metrolink today (Sunday, August 4) have been warned their journeys may be affected this morning.

Bee Network has said that "critical track works" are taking place at the Deansgate-Castlefield stop, meaning the East Didsbury to Oldham Mumps service will not be calling at some city centre stops.

Trams running from Oldham into Manchester city centre will stop at Victoria, while trams running from East Didsbury into the city centre will terminate at Deansgate-Castlefield.

This means no trams will call at Exchange Square or St Peter's Square.

After 10am, when the works conclude, services will return to normal.

The works come as the land movement between Derker and Shaw and Cromtpon continue to lead to the suspension of trams travelling beyond Oldham Mumps.

Instead, a replacement bus service is operating between Rochdale Town Centre and Oldham Mumps every 12 minutes, calling at the following stops:

Towards Oldham Mumps:

Rochdale Interchange (Stand C Mon-Fri, Stand E Sat/Sun) - Rochdale Railway Station Temporary Bus Stop - Newbold Stop E – Kingsway Business Park Stop D - Milnrow Stop B - Newhey Stop E - Shaw and Crompton Stop F - Derker Bus Stop D

Towards Rochdale Town Centre:

Oldham Mumps Interchange Stop A - Derker Stop C - Shaw and Crompton Stop F - Newhey Stop F - Milnrow Stop A - Kingsway Business Park Stop C - Newbold Stop D - Rochdale Railway Station Temporary Bus Stop
