Snow clearing and anti-icing measures were taken on tram and train tracks overnight ahead of services, with some bus routes being diverted, Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) said. Grane Road in Haslingden has been closed between junction 5 on the M65 and Holcombe Road due to a crash, Lancashire Police said. "The road will be closed for some time whilst we make sure the road is safe," the force added. TfGM said the 184 bus route through Marsden has also been diverted via Old Mount Road, as it has been unable to serve Mount Road due to snow. The UK Health Security Agency has issued an amber cold health alert for the whole of the North West, which is in place until 18:00 GMT on Saturday.
