I never bother getting the tram after the game at the ground. They are supposed to be putting on extra trams but at the final whistle on Saturday it came up on the scoreboard that the first tram to Ashton was TWENTY FIVE minutes, thanks Metrolink you useless turds
I walked from the ground to the half way house after the game, a long way for an FOC, not a single tram passed me. It’s a fucking useless serviceSomeone on here who seemed to know what they’re on about, said last season that the live time running information can’t cope with the additional trams that run on match days and those screens are best just ignored.
Parked on there for the first time in a couple if seasons as I managed to get free parking round the corner until now.Bloke who takes the money immediately started apologising before he told us the price. Decent fella,he told us the owner really wants to put it up to £15!!!!!
trouble with the tram on ashton new road is it gets stuck in the traffic along with everyone elseI walked from the ground to the half way house after the game, a long way for an FOC, not a single tram passed me. It’s a fucking useless service
One every 25 minutes straight after a match is fucking pitifultrouble with the tram on ashton new road is it gets stuck in the traffic along with everyone else
As a visitor and irregular user of the tram I was hopeful on Saturday for an easy journey. I parked the car for free at Ashton West. Getting to the ground was easy. However going back was a disaster. I was at the stop at 5.10 with the first tram due at 5.23. 4 passed us by, either dropping off, not in service or in one case the doors opened but we weren't allowed on. I got on the first one at 5.45. The only upside is I was only charged 10p on my debit card for swiping on/off.I never bother getting the tram after the game at the ground.

I was just about to post that as well. The trams just keep coming once the game is over. Not always to the destination you might require but they hardly seem to have more than 1 or 2 minutes between. The Eccles and outlying areas seem to be slotted in between the ones that are terminating at nearer venues. I guess because a lot of people are just going into town for a drink or a meal.Someone on here who seemed to know what they’re on about, said last season that the live time running information can’t cope with the additional trams that run on match days and those screens are best just ignored.
That's just a holding charge until the system works out the proper price of your journey. Probably updated tomorrow.The only upside is I was only charged 10p on my debit card for swiping on/off.
