Delays on Rochdale Metrolink line after service suspensions

Date published: 16 August 2013


Passengers travelling on lines from Victoria to Rochdale encountered delays yesterday afternoon (Thursday 15 August).

Delays came after lines to Bury and Rochdale were suspended due to a points failure at the Queen's Road Depot.

Metrolink ticket holders were able to travel on buses that passed along Metrolink routes.

A spokesperson from Transport for Greater Manchester said: “The Metrolink operator MRDL suspended services for around 40 minutes late last night on the Rochdale line while engineers looked at a fault.

“Passengers were able to use their tickets on the 181, 182 and 59 buses. Metrolink apologises to customers whose journeys were affected.”
