Metrolink passengers travelling to and from Bury this weekend will have their journeys affected due to engineering works.
No trams will operate through Manchester Victoria on Sunday, February 25, due to further engineering works taking place following the removal of a cracked rail last month.
The essential work will impact on the Bury, Manchester Airport, and Oldham and Rochdale lines, with trams terminating at Queens Road and Monsall respectively.
A shuttle bus service will run between these stops and the city centre, while all other lines retain access to the city.

Danny Vaughan, Transport for Greater Manchester's head of Metrolink, said: “Safety is our top priority and following the removal of some damaged rail at Victoria, further engineering works are needed on Sunday.
“We apologise for the inconvenience and will have replacement buses running for people coming in on the Bury or Rochdale and Oldham lines and wanting to get into the city.”
