A car has caused chaos on the Metrolink line in Manchester! A BMW has found itself in a sticky situation, stuck on the tram tracks near New Islington, bringing the entire line to a halt. But here's where it gets controversial—the car was driven onto the tracks, causing a major disruption to commuters.
Councillor Alan Good, representing Ancoats and Beswick, witnessed the unusual incident while waiting for a tram. He reported seeing the BMW drive onto the tracks, likely getting stuck due to the drop and potentially damaging a tire. The car's occupants were seen abandoning the vehicle, leaving it stranded.
Transport for Greater Manchester has suspended the Ashton line, affecting travel between Piccadilly and Ashton-under-Lyne. Commuters are being redirected to bus services, with tickets accepted on various routes. The incident has sparked discussions among locals, with many questioning how a car could end up on the tracks.
This live event has caused quite a stir, with updates rolling in. The car's presence has rendered the following tram stops out of service: Ashton-under-Lyne, Ashton West, Ashton Moss, Audenshaw, Droylsden, Cemetery Road, Edge Lane, Clayton Hall, Velopark, Etihad Campus, Holt Town, and New Islington. The situation is expected to be resolved once the car is towed away.
