A power cut caused by a damaged pantograph left Manchester Metrolink trams stranded on the tracks today, affecting around 130,000 daily passengers. Services in the city centre and some other lines were suspended, leading to evacuations and significant delays, particularly at Deansgate-Castlefield station, which remains out of service. Transport for Greater Manchester is investigating the incident and has implemented a revised service pattern while repairs are underway, with hopes to resume normal operations by tomorrow morning.
