Travellers are facing disruption on the Metrolink tonight after a car drove onto the tram tracks at New Islington, suspending the Ashton-under-Lyne line.
Customers are being told to use alternative transport as police and Metrolink officers work to move the car, which has driven into the tunnel between New Islington and Piccadilly Station.
It is currently unclear when services will resume.
