Blackpool’s tram service is disrupted this morning because heat has damaged tracks between Cabin and North Pier.
While repairs are carried out, no trams can operate in this section of the route and the service is split between Starr Gate and North Station and Cabin to Fisherman’s Walk.
A replacement bus, alongside Resort Rider services 1 and 2, will run between Cabin and North Pier from every 15 minutes.
In a statement on social media, a spokesperson for Blackpool Transport said: “We are working as quickly as possible to make the required repairs and apologise for any inconvenience this disruption may cause.
