🛠️ From Monday 19 October to Sunday 1 November, major works will again take place at Trafford Bar and Deansgate-Castlefield. ❌🚊 This means that no trams will operate on the Altrincham, Eccles or Trafford Park lines. East Didsbury and Airport line services will stop short of the city centre, running only as far as Firswood. 🚍 Express shuttle buses and ticket acceptance will be in place to help you make your journey during the disruption: bit.ly/4AxWCSo
