I was on a tram which had to switch to a bus replacement service half way through the trip into Manchester last year. The tram staff kept all of us waiting on the bus for 20 minutes while they waited for police to come and deal with one fare dodger. Net result? Waste of police time and lots of angry passengers who weren't happy at being delayed by the bus switch in the first place. I don't understand why the police didn't just tell the tram staff to deal with it themselves.
