Newcastle's light rail has run into trouble just 4 days after trams began running on the network.
A tram broke down at the Newcastle Beach stop yesterday afternoon, forcing Keolis Downer to deploy a back-up vehicle.
It's understood the tram experienced a technical hitch with its pantograph, which raises up and down to draw power from an overhead charge bar.
Repairs were carried out on site with tram back in service last night.
Keolis Downer says there were no delays to services as a result of the breakdown.
