Testing of the new tram line in Rochdale Town Centre woke residents in the middle of the night
Testing of the new tram line in Rochdale Town Centre woke residents in the middle of the night.
Noise was promised to be kept to a minimum but some residents were awoken at around 12:30am to the sound of the first tram travelling along Drake Street with a police escort.
From Saturday 2 November for around three weeks trams will run on the line overnight under a police escort. Some road junctions will be restricted for very short periods of time.
The overnight test trams will be seen further along the route as they turn back at the Milnrow stop.
