Metrolink to / from Etihad

[MCFC Wirral]

Yep. 75 special to Heaton Park then a 35 (now 135) or 73 up Bury Old Road.

Bit of an odd way to Wythenshawe!

111 from Piccadilly Gardens to Maine Road rings a bell. A good number of buses to get back too.

It provides a regular 6-minute interval to the Etihad, but not if it will still be supplemented with extras on matchdays.

Try their planner for Sunday 7th January still shows you having to change trams at Cornbrook when travelling from Altrincham. Never had and never will have any faith in Metrolink they are bloody useless.

Do people seriously not walk any more?

All very good but are you suggesting this as a replacement for the tram? Let’s not give TfGM any ideas!

No,not at all, I was on a natural high last night.
Got two more days off and I'm on a bender at about 10.30 later.

Much quicker walking back to Pic. The metro is hopeless after the match. If you are getting the train in and back suggest using the park and ride at Horwich Parkway. That's the way I come in and it avoids all the M60 traffic chaos. It is also free parking.

If I drive over from Cleveleys and park at Horwich Parkway, do you get the train into Manchester then the metrolink to City and how much is a ticket?

Train is £5 return when they’re not on strike like this Wednesday. Tram is zones 1 & 2 which is £3.50 but you’ll struggle to get on at Piccadilly most times. Most people walk if they can, about 30mins each way.
