TRANSPORT bosses are to hold talks with Metrolink tram operators in a bid to improve services over the festive period.
The move, by the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Authority, follows concerns raised by passengers about the earlier finish for Metrolink services on New Year's Eve.
Cllr Roger Jones, chairman of the GMPTA, said: "We recognise that people want to go out and enjoy themselves over the festive season and it's important that they can go where they want, when they want, by public transport. Serco, the Metrolink operator, tell us they have done surveys into when people travel at that time of the year and tried to tailor tram services to suit.
"However, it is important to listen to passengers' views so we will be working with Serco to see how we can improve things this year."
