Metrolink for the Wigan Game

Last home match trams ran directly from Altrincham to the Etihad.

This week they are saying you should change at Cornbrook.

Whoever is running this system wants flogging!

All to do with the change of service from Ashton to Bury to Ashton to Eccles and accommodating the trams running through the city centre whilst they revamp Victoria station (9 months).

Maybe they should postpone this work in order to facilitate your dozen or so trips to the Etihad in this timeframe?

Meanwhile those living in Eccles can stay on their train and go straight through.

You've got more stops to change at than you would have done before and it's not as if you're walking halfway across the city centre like those that are on the Bury line will have to do.

Why can't the service be Altrincham to Ashton?

I think you will find more City fans get on the Altrincham tram than on the Eccles one.
