No trams are set to run for a period this weekend due to "essential tech works", with passengers being warned of disruption.
Bee Network has said that on Sunday (November 3), no trams will operate on the Metrolink on any of the lines before 9am.
This is so works can be carried out to upgrade the tech systems across the full network.

Once the closure is lifted at 9am, Bee Network said it will take some time for services to resume to normal, with a full timetable set to operate from around 10.30am.
No bus replacement services will run while the closure is in place and tram tickets will not be accepted on commercial buses.
On Sunday [3 Nov], tram improvement works are taking place across the network.
