People travelling through Hillsborough faced significant delays this morning, after a First 52A bus broke down in the middle of the road, and led to both the blue and yellow tram services being brought to a standstill.

But thanks to a group of passing football fans who pushed the broken down bus out of the way, traffic began flowing normally about half an hour ago.
