Trams on the Ashton Metrolink line were halted after a crash involving a tram and a car in Droylsden. The incident occurred on Ashton Road, near the Williamson Lane junction, involving a tram and a black Vauxhall Zafira.
Services were suspended between Etihad Campus and Ashton-under-Lyne on the afternoon of August 7. Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) confirmed there were no injuries reported following the crash.
Nine stops affected
Nine tram stops were out of service while crews responded to the incident. Trams from Manchester city centre terminated at Etihad Campus, and passengers were advised to use Bee Network buses instead. Metrolink tickets were accepted on several local bus routes.
Services resume
The incident has since been cleared, and Metrolink services have resumed on the Ashton line. Some delays remain in the area, and Metrolink has apologised for the disruption.
