@BeeNetwork Hi Rachel, a quick question for metrolink - Did designers who designed the shelters at the metrolink stops give any consideration to rain and wind when designing those shelters, or the head of procurement checking if they were suitable for purpose before wasting money on them?

From Monday 12 Feb, East Didsbury-Shaw & Crompton services will operate between East Didsbury & Exchange Square only. East Didsbury-Rochdale services will continue to run via Market St & Shudehill. Visit our dedicated webpage for the latest information: beenetwork.com/temporary-serv…

@BeeNetwork Wow, that's a surprise, a delay on the Rochdale line, well I never.

@BeeNetwork Yes, thank you, but a 25 minute wait in this weather is not good. Getting home to Failsworth from Rochdale by bus would have proven quicker, and this is not a one off, the Rochdale line is hit frequently with delays.

@steveryan Hi Steve, I'm sorry to read this. Did you manage to board a service?

@BeeNetwork what is going on with the Rochdale line, currently at Rochdale Central, have been waiting 12 minutes already, and the next tram is showing as arriving in 13 minutes, thats a 25 minute wait between trams - not acceptable.

@BeeNetwork Will have been waiting 25 minutes for a tram at Rochdale in this freezing cold weather, why don't you let us use our tickets on the bus when there is such a long wait - metrolink doesnt give a monkeys about their customers or the poor service they deliver.

31 minute wait for a tram at Rochdale, why?

The far right paying their respects to the war dead. Absolute disgrace. ⁦@SuellaBraverman⁩ this is on you

@BeeNetwork Thanks for getting back to me, on a tram now on my way home for my tea.

@steveryan Yes, services are still operating looks like you just missed one. Can you confirm whether you boarded the service?

@BeeNetwork Are the trams running from Rochdale as there are no times showing on the departure board.

@BeeNetwork Tram from Rochdale Central to Manchester was a six minute wait four minutes ago, now showing as 16 minutes, why a 22 minute wait for a tram please.

On the tui flight from Dalaman, landed at 1.40am, still waiting for our luggage over an hour later, Swissport and Manchester Airport you are a disgrace.

@MCRMetrolink Any idea when the next tram will be leaving Rochdale please as there are no times on the platform display just a message about a delay.

Good morning all, Brad signing in. We are here till 8pm tonight to assist with all things Metrolink. Hope you all have a great day!

@MCRMetrolink When is the next tram leaving Rochdale please as there is no time on the display just a message about delays - nothing on your Web page or on X either.

@MCRMetrolink Waiting at exchange square going to oldham, any updates when a tram will arrive please.

@MCRMetrolink This was 4 hours ago. The display at Rochdale Central has been saying the next tram is in 24 minutes, and it has been like that now for at least 5 minutes. Is there a team due anytime soon as it would be quicker to walk.

⚠️ Due to a broken-down bus at Exchange Square, services towards Rochdale will be operating via Shudehill & Market Street. Services towards East Didsbury are unaffected.

@MCRMetrolink From getting on the platform at Rochdale Central at 4.15pm to getting off the tram at Failsworth at 5.40pm, its taken 1 hour 25 minutes - not good. Absolutely disgusting service (as the norm recently).

Good morning, Shell signing in 👋 We’ll be here until 8pm tonight to answer any Metrolink queries 👩🏼‍💻 Have a great day! 😄

@MCRMetrolink Delays are a regular occurrence between 4.00pm and 5.30pm on the Rochdale line, or is it simply that Metrolink do not have enough trams to service that line. Some evenings it taken over 90 minutes to arrive at Failsworth from getting actually on the platform at Rochdale.

@steveryan Hi Steve. Sorry for the delay this evening. It is due to an earlier tram fault.

@MCRMetrolink @CassieSibbs Can't remember a day when there were no delays on the Rochdale line, shocking service, give metrolink to an operator that can deliver a consistent decent service.

@CassieSibbs Hi there. Due to an earlier tram fault, we're experiencing delays on this line. Apologies for the inconvenience.

@MCRMetrolink When does a 38 minute wait for a tram at Rochdale Central constitute a minor delay.
