The Metrolink has had problems running for the last two Saturdays. Last week, major power cuts left large parts of North Manchester in the dark, and the Metrolink system between Bury and Whitefield was without power (as was the East Lancs, including Bury South signal box, leading to pilot men having to be used). And in the early hours of yesterday morning vandals cut through cables controlling the signalling, paralysing the system from Victoria to Bury until mid-afternoon.
On a more positive note, track laying has now begun between Bury and Victoria. This means that all services over that stretch are being replaced by buses on Sundays.
