Trams on part of Oldham-Rochdale line to remain suspended
Transport bosses said it was due to unstable land
Trams on part of the Oldham and Rochdale line are to remain suspended because of unstable land.
No services will operate between Rochdale Town Centre and Oldham Mumps until further notice.
Track and other equipment has been affected by land movement, Transport for Greater Manchester confirmed.
The company added that detailed investigations were ongoing to identify what's causing the problem.
Pete Sommers, TfGM’s Network Director for Metrolink, said: “I'm sorry for the impact this will have on people's journeys. The decision to suspend services is not taken lightly but is absolutely the right thing to do to ensure the safety of our passengers, staff, and the wider public.
"We are working hard to understand what is causing this and ultimately how we fix it, but this is a complex and serious incident that is unlikely to be quickly resolved. We will of course ensure customers are kept fully up to date and will provide further information as soon as we have it."
Customers are being told they can use their tickets on local bus services or a replacement bus service.
