The Eccles line was suspended completely from Tuesday evening after a tram reversing became derailed over a set of points and damaged the overhead lines. 40 people were on the tram at the time but no major injuries were recorded.
Services to the Eccles branch were restored on Wednesday but the new MediaCityUK stop is currently closed until future notice due to the damaged overheads.
Not the best start to the new extension.
The system came into use some two weeks later but was suspended again after a safety incident. The Line reopened a few weeks later again operating as an extension to the Eccles line.
