I have worked out that it could hold two double units.

Metrolink seems a waste of time to me. They just don’t seem interested in assisting city at busy times. Why is this? Infrastructure investment maybe costly? Perhaps football crowds are considered quite a lot of hassle in terms of abuse to staff and facilities?
seems much more workable of city buy 50-100 electric buses and ask the council to make smart traffic lights give them 90 per cent right of way to the stadium or back to town. Obviously electric buses don’t come cheap but maybe we lease them back to the tgfm for use at other times.

100 electric buses would cost about £50m!Metrolink seems a waste of time to me. They just don’t seem interested in assisting city at busy times. Why is this? Infrastructure investment maybe costly?

Yes. That’s why we’d find somebody to share the cost. Like tfgm the new arena or dare I say it even the scum. or all 3!100 electric buses would cost about £50m!
Nobody is sharing a £50m cost to appease city fans travelling to the match!Yes. That’s why we’d find somebody to share the cost. Like tfgm the new arena or dare I say it even the scum. or all 3!
Metrolink got rid of the original Trams not too long ago.
I thought they could have kept a few, refitted as standing room only and used for matches and events. City & Rags.
A few adjustments to the Network such as holding sidings crossovers etc.
There just isn't the will in the hotch potch of a privatised transport system we have.

And about 100-120 events per year at the new arena?Aye and be used for one hour on 24-28 match days a year. Get real! That proposal is the economics of the madhouse.
I’m sure we could lease at some of these to the council and tfgm for rush hour etc? City do have a fair bit of sway with the council etc.
