Park station would be the one to re-open as it would give links into Victoria and then the train/tram on from there

Line is still used as well so as easy as adding a stop

We could play any nights but Thursday (unless our season goes tits up). Will be many clashes I reckon. Hope I'm wrong but time will tell.

Well they have announced 33 summer dates already - which equates to roughly 25% of the annual gigs. Only one of these potentially clash if we reach the champs league semi. .

It will be fairly easy to avoid clashes - maybe a handful will do.

Avoid Tue and Wed gigs and will fairly easy to cope at weekends.

Well firstly, good luck in trying to run a train that needs to cut across all the lines that enter the throat of Manchester's main rail station, especially every 6 minutes as you suggested. You wouldn't even get anything through the Castlefield corridor anyway.

It uses a parallel line to the busy lines and splits completely at Ardwick, on its line there are only two trains an hour to Sheffield and the same to Glossop, so it is very doable two Saturdays/midweek evenings per month

Reddish South railway station is a stop on the Stockport–Stalybridge Line in Reddish, Stockport, England. The station, used by only 26 passengers in 2013/14, is one of the quietest on the UK rail network. If we go deep in both cups , I think we can top this number for our new Etihad station. Well worth the millions.

Why don’t you write to TfGM and tell them your idea? Sounds like you’re a genius.

Surprised there isn't a direct bus service from Victoria Station. Loads of Blues come in this way (including me) and I guess it would be similar for concerts. Few pints in Sinclairs, jump on bus, jobs a gud 'un!

Or Shudehill bus station for that matter.

Hope they film it! Only watching Peter Kay on YouTube is what I have had to resort to.

Exactly !! New train stations is pie in the sky fantasy.

More chance of a zip wire from the back of the North Stand Skybar all the way to Picadilly than there is of hundreds of millions invested in new train stations !

A zip wire! Tell me more
