The Metrolink line will be affected 'until further notice'
No trams are running from Rochdale due to a broken down car blocking the tracks. Metrolink services are not operating between the town centre and Freehold, affecting all stops to Oldham too, because of the blockage that was first reported this morning .
Tram tickets will be accepted on certain bus routes, including the 181, 182, 409 and 411. Transport for Greater Manchester has confirmed that Metrolink tickets can be used on Northern Rail services between Manchester Victoria and Rochdale Railway Station. However, train services are also facing disruption. Rochdale councillor Janet Emsley shared her frustration on social media, saying in a post on X, formerly Twitter, she was 'trying desperately' to use public transport, but trains are delayed with some services cancelled.TfGM shared an update about the disruption to Metrolink services on X shortly after 11.30am. The latest update on the TfGM website says services have been affected since 6.
Some bus and train services may not accept Metrolink tickets and passes, according to the update, meaning passengers may have to purchase separate tickets to make their journey. The website also says that some destinations can be 'easily reached' by walking. No tram services are running between Ashton-under-Lyne and Piccadilly station either today due to works taking place. A bus replacement service will run between these stations, serving all tram stops, before services return to normal tomorrow .
