A plan to cut Tameside's tram link to Manchester for two years while part of the HS2 railway is built would be "disastrous", an MP has said.

Labour's Andrew Gwynne said removing the service from Ashton-under-Lyne to Piccadilly Gardens in the second phase of the rail project was unacceptable.

The MP for Denton and Reddish said the line was "a crucial piece of public transport infrastructure to Tameside".

An HS2 spokesman said construction work would be "phased to limit disruption".
