Metrolink services are disrupted in Manchester after a tram derailed in the city centre (link below.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7480690.stmA city-bound late-night shuttle service tram came off the tracks at the junction of Moseley Street and Princess Street. One person was taken to hospital with minor injuries. No services are operating to or from Eccles and Altrincham-bound passengers can only go as far as the city centre. Moseley Street is shut to traffic. Part of Princess Street is also closed while a crane is brought in to move the tram. A Metrolink spokesman said they did not have an exact figure for the number of people on board, but said there were "quite a few". Services do not normally run late on a Sunday, but the tram was part of a special shuttle service to transport those attending a Radiohead concert at Old Trafford cricket ground. |
