Tram disruption ahead on Ashton line

TRAM users are being warned of disruption on the Ashton-under-Lyne line this weekend. 

It’s part of improvement works planned to take place this year across the Metrolink network.

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has said that track renewal work will be happening on the Ashton line this Sunday, January 26.

As a result, a bus replacement service will be in operation all day between Ashton-under-Lyne and Piccadilly Gardens.

Tram tickets will only be accepted on the replacement bus and not on numbered bus services, such as the 216 or 219.

TfGM has apologised for any inconvenience caused to passengers.
