Saying that, the general local feeling the last time the line was shut,was that the replacement bus service was much better than the actual tram sevice it had replaced, so maybe Metrolink have learnt a lesson and have cut back on the number of buses in order to get the travelling public back on the service when it reopens!!!!!!
