Things are so bad on some tram lines that drivers ‘cower from gangs of lawless yobs’

A Metrolink driver claims ‘lawless yobs’ are terrorising the tram line to Rochdale at night – causing drivers to ‘cower’ in their cabs as they pass through certain areas

He spoke out after another driver was injured by thugs who dropped a phat rock from a bridge through his cab window.

The victim was left with chest and face injuries after the attack near Derker in Oldham which was branded ‘reckless and hideous’ by transport bosses and Greater Manchester’s fresh mayor.

Proposed clean air plan slammed as ‘congestion charge by another name’

A veteran Labour politician has slammed a proposed anti-pollution tariff for drivers coming in the city centre as a ‘congestion charge by another name’

A Clean Air Zone plan for Greater Manchester, exposed in a document obtained by the M.E.N., could see drivers pay £7.50 to inject the city centre and other areas of Bolton and Bury.

Affecting drivers of high-polluting vehicles and part of a government purpose to reduce emissions, it’s been welcomed by some as a good way to curb dangerous pollution levels.

However, it’s also raised concerns over traffic being coerced on to other roads, placing strain on the public transport network – and bruising business and poorer families.

Tram attack ‘disgraceful’ and ‘could have been much worse’

The freshly elected mayor of Greater Manchester has said a rock thrown at a tram which injured the driver is ‘disgraceful’ and ‘could have been worse’.

At around 9.40pm on Monday the object was launched at the oncoming tram from a footbridge north of the Derker Metrolink stop.

The rock smashed through the window, causing injuries to the driver’s face and chest.

He managed to drive the bruised tram to the Shaw and Crompton stop, where he was met by emergency services and taken to hospital.

Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, said he wished the driver a speedy recovery.

He added: “Attacks on Metrolink will not be tolerated. Recently we have seen far too many reports of missiles being thrown at trams and often through windows, injuring and panicking those on board.

“The consequences of last night’s incident were disgraceful but could have been even worse. I’ll be working closely with Metrolink, TfGM, Greater Manchester Police and the Travelsafe team to ensure we are doing all that we can to end these attacks. “Nobody in Greater Manchester should be made to feel unsafe while travelling or at work.”
