Metrolink services on the Ashton line between Eccles and Ashton-under-Lyne have been suspended this evening (February 7) due to an obstruction on the line.
The Bee Network said in a post on X that the closure was due to a car on the tracks at the Holt Town stop.
The fault was first reported just after 7pm this evening.
They confirmed that tickets and passes are being accepted on the 7, 53, 76, 76A, 76B, 171, 172, 216, 219, 220, 221, 230, and 231 bus services.
