Re: Metrolink
I got the metrolink add on this year, wouldnt have bothered if I knew they were going to schedule works on game days. I'll catch the train in tomorrow at my cost.

I know engineering work has to be done at weekends but most of their network has only been built in the last few years.

Re: Metrolink
Don't miss getting this over-priced shambles of a system whatsoever. Used to get it to work and back every day and there would be problems near enough every day.
It's more reliable, quicker and cheaper for me to drive.

Used it a few times now,does anyone actually ever come & check your ticket

Re: Metrolink
Used it from town to Ashton last night despite it taking 3 times longer than the train and costing around the same.
At one stop they had maybe 10 inspectors and about 4 or 5 copeprs and they were taking details of a fair few people who must have been clocked without a ticket. £100 fine.
The ashton trams are pretty quiet though which isnt surprising given the train service.

Re: Metrolink
Not surprised you couldnt get a seat as there arent many seats on the new trams - its all open space!
When was it rammed though? Weekend or during the week? and waht time - ive yet to see it busy.

Re: Metrolink
The city council keep telling us how brilliant they are so they (the council) are not likely to admit the zervice is crap.
If you choose to have a free ride make sure you know the fare. Then you can say you paid whatever but lost the ticket. It might work.
They are not accountable to anyone so they can be shit.blue underpants said:Customer relations ha, been trying to find out what time the first tram is on New Years Day from Alty to Picc as i am getting the early train to Swansea for the game, they aint got a fuckin clue, one even said i dont think there is a service when i know there is!Carl_Man_City said:Its becoming farcical, really poorly ran business with dreadful customer relations

Re: Metrolink
I pretend to be polish ever time I get caught I just say Polska Polska over and over gain and act foreign. I say me Poznan and they must just assume that no one would make such a twat of themselves and tell me to fuckoff. It helps if you smile when they pull you as well and pretend to get your wallet out to pay. Good acting experience.
Worked for me last 3 times. Took ten minutes last time though in my pigeon polish English and I was seconds away from saying oh fuck it I'm from urmston as they were proving stubborn.

Re: Metrolink
I drove up Ashton New Road yesterday. Not rode the Ashton route yet but does the tram get held up in traffic or are the lights configured to speed them through?
Not been round the Ashton area for a while and it looks pretty cool with all the open stations. The locals must be made up with this on their doorstep. I wish it was nearer my house.

Re: Metrolink
Its an embarrassing transit system. Always signal problems at Cornbrook, customer service emails don't get answered and the info screens are laghable with trams overtaking each other or disappearing just before they're due
