Two tram crashes in different areas of Manchester caused delays for travellers during rush hour this evening. It comes after a police incident in Ancoats caused the closure of a tram line for much of the afternoon.
One tram crashed into a bus on Princess Street near to St Peter's Square, while in Chorlton Tram Station one tram crashed into another. This led to delays on both services while Metrolink dealt with the collisions.
The Stagecoach Bus 197 service had visible damage to its back right side, with engineers called to make repairs. A significant amount of liquid could be seen coming from the smashed area of the bus, but the bus was able to drive away with no passengers on board.
