21.02.2022 - 18:21 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Transport bosses have warned that disruption on trains, roads and trams caused by Storm Franklin may continue into tonight.
Heavy rain and strong winds brought by the storm led to cancellations and severe delays on public transport throughout the morning today (Monday).
Some Metrolink lines were blocked due to a fallen tree and dozens of train operators were forced to cancel services.
Northern Rail cancelled all train services in the North West due to the severe weather.

Many bus services have also been delayed or cancelled due to flooding on roads or fallen down trees.
Bosses at Transport for Greater Manchester have said that although the worst of Storm Franklin has passed, some travel disruption will remain into this afternoon and this evening.
Commuters are being urged to 'only travel if absolutely necessary'.
Sean Dyball, TfGM’s Head of Customer Experience, said: “Over the course of the weekend the severe weather caused by Storms Eunice and Franklin created a significant amount of disruption on travel across Greater Manchester.
“Local roads were affected by strong winds and flooding in some areas causing significant congestion and delays this morning - while the rail network and Metrolink saw a number of delays and cancellations caused by debris and trees blowing onto tracks.
“The storm which affected the city-region overnight is now starting to ease and is expected to have cleared by lunchtime, but there may be some further disruption into the evening commuter peak as engineers and transport staff work to clear blockages to lines and get services back up and running.
