Commuters looking to head into Manchester today are faced with having to find alternative modes of transport after an over head line problem left sections of the Metrolink system without power.
The problems started last night (Feb15th) when the outage happened during the Manchester United match at Old Trafford, leaving thousands stranded and having to walk home.
The service is still operating between Eccles and MediaCity UK but any route through Trafford is suspended until engineers can rectify what has been said to be a serious issue.
Tickets can still be used on selected bus routes.
Meanwhile traffic congestion has been a nightmare for drivers this morning as they face delays on the M60 due to multiple accidents along the route. A broken down car close to Junction 16 and a two car smash on the clockwise carriageway have had a knock on effect with congestion backed up to the Eccles Interchange and spilling onto adjoining roads.
Traffic is said to be flowing again, albeit slowly in some areas.
If you are out on your travels today, take care, make sure you plan your route and stay safe.
