There has been widespread travel chaos over the past two days as Greater Manchester reached record temperatures. Tram and train services were ground to a halt as damage to overhead lines and 'buckling' tracks left people stranded.
Temperatures in the city-region topped 37.2 o C breaking the record of 35 o C set just the day before . Trains and trams started off with a normal service on on Monday morning, as temperatures rapidly rose, however, by the evening all were facing severe disruption.
This only became worse by Tuesday, with people urged to not travel as there were widespread cancellations across the network. Many would have expected for this to be resolved today as temperatures have dropped back to a cooler 21 o C, and while trams across GM are back up and running, there are still widespread cancellations on the train network.
