THE entire Metrolink network was briefly suspended tonight, leaving Bury commuters facing travel chaos at rush hour.
An overhead line fault in the Trafford Bar area briefly caused all tram services to be shut down across the Metrolink network at around 6pm, though many services are now back up and running.
All trams are currently operating between Bury and Piccadilly, while there are severe delays elsewhere on the network.
@MCRMetrolink currently stuck on the tram at shuedhill going to bury. How long is the line going to be suspended for?
