great going, shite coming back. Why they waited 20 mins to go I don’t know and then took a shite route back. As you say at least it was free.

Think the idea was to avoid the lights at Alan Turing Way by the stadium because they’re on red in all directions for about 20 minutes for pedestrians leaving groundgreat going, shite coming back.

How the hell can they get this wrong ??Update on the (comedy) Macc bus. An hour after the game finished we are now in the centre of Stockport. Despite being ideally positioned (at Connnell college) for the normal A34 route to Bramall/Macc we have inexplicably had a tour of Ashton and the M60. Now we’re sat on the A6 for the foreseeable future. The only redeeming feature is that the driver has no
Interest in taking any payment. I had high hopes for this service, should have known better

Dunno really. Back in Macc for 9.20 for free, should I complain given half the trains (all the big London ones) were cancelled? Just frustrating that it could have been so much smoother.How the hell can they get this wrong ??

We were parked the right side of that at the college. Straight out and into Longsight. The closed lights work in our favour from thereThink the idea was to avoid the lights at Alan Turing Way by the stadium because they’re on red in all directions for about 20 minutes for pedestrians leaving ground
oxford road has 4 platforms that can get to piccadilly on platforms 13 and 14 but i was saying surely they could run a circular service for a couple of hours before and after the game. what does it matter if football fans get delayed for 5 minutes?Almost every train I've travelled on via Oxford Road Station has had to wait patiently outside Deansgate Station until trains coming from Liverpool/N Wales have gone through. The Ordsall Chord is almost never used because of this. Oxford Road Station has only one line through to Platform 14 at Piccadilly. A line that also travels to the Airport.
But. Apart from that ;)Update on the (comedy) Macc bus. An hour after the game finished we are now in the centre of Stockport.

You’re right. I thought you meant for the coach to go M60 A34.We were parked the right side of that at the college. Straight out and into Longsight. The closed lights work in our favour from there
It would have helped if someone had explained what the delay was for. It wasn’t anything to do with latecomers - the woman with the clipboard kept asking for the guard & for numbers of those who had return “tickets” & who had got on just to go home??
On the whole though, not a bad journey
