METROLINK passengers face delays on two successive Sundays because of essential engineering work.

The tram service will be suspended between Old Trafford and Altrincham on August 27 and September 3.

A replacement bus shuttle service with low-level access for wheelchairs will be provided between those stops, running every 12 minutes. People should buy their tickets from the usual ticket machines before boarding the bus.

Passengers should allow extra time for their journeys on those days. All other Metrolink services will operate as normal.
