"Metrolink puts tram service on for football and music fans"

[Citizen of Legoland]

That include light rail?

Yes.

A train station is needed end of story, why are MCC and MCFC not talking to Mr Burnham about this? In the short term, Manchester City could show what their fans mean to them by buying a fleet of buses and using them to shuttle people to specific transport hubs in the City like a park and rides.

Imagine the sponsorship opportunity if you had buses running around Manchester from the Stadium and COOP live where details are plastered all over it.

The same buses could be used for away fans as well

Train station and associated infrastructure? No chance. Geographical nightmare at an eye watering cost.

How much car parking is there at the new arena venue? Gig going culture is infinitely different to football.

Metrolink can't put more trams on for Man City fans as there's 'no more room'

“To make this change would require pushing additional services through pinch-points on the network that have no more room"

There’s no extra parking if that’s what you mean. They share the current parking with the club.

That’s what I meant. So no new parking? Somewhere like the Apollo is more walkable from Piccadilly.

Yes, probably.

I read that as we could if really wanted but not interested. City and the council would be the ones that have to force them to the table and say not good enough.

Unfortunately unlikely as city have said in the past that it isn't their problem and nothing they can do. They think everyone will just stay in the bars longer after the game on expansion is done and they will put more bike sheds in or the likes...

6 min frequency is laughable on the article, I don't think I have every waited less that 15 minutes for one.
