Engineers are carrying out essential repair works on the Bury line throughout the weekend. A bus replacement service will call at Bury, Radcliffe and Whitefield on both days, plus Besses o' th' Barn, Prestwich, Heaton Park, Bowker Vale and Crumpsall today. On Sunday, no Metrolink services will run between Manchester Airport and Sale Water Park due to track renewal works at Northern Moor. Every tram stop in Wythenshawe will be closed during the day, with a bus replacement service calling at all stops between Manchester Airport and Sale Water Park. Transport for Greater Manchester says Bee Network buses could provide a faster and cheaper alternative to the replacement services on both the Airport and Bury lines. Normal service is expected to be resumed on both Metrolink lines on Monday.
