Now that is a shock , it comes so soon after the Wirral Bus and Tram Show .

Likely to be one of two reasons;

1. Equipment has become unsafe through delapidation.

2. Procedures governing safe methods of operation are not being
adhered to or are inadequate.

I've been informed by the 201 Bus Group that a tramway replacement bus service will run to the same times as the tram service until further notice.

RE: Wirral Heritage Tramway
The full story will come out in the fullness of time why the service was suspended , I do hope whatever it is doesnt end in the tramway going for good , that would be a calamity if it did .

Everything is still stalemate at present as far as I'm aware - still in limbo due to lack of agreement between Wirral Council and Merseytravel who officially own the former Blackpool trams.
