The Metrolink line was closed over the weekend "for network improvement work". Just before 6pm on Sunday, this was spotted travelling on the line between Radcliffe and Bury. The excavator is in the middle of a train of three flat-bed trucks. It appears to be providing the driving force as its wheels are pushing against the wheels of the middle truck.
