Metrolink to / from Etihad

Stockport doesn't need a tram line, you never wait more that 10 mins for a train into Manchester. Money would be better spent increasing the existing city centre capacity.

Everywhere in GM needs capacity improvements to fix historical neglect, current requirements and future growth. I don’t really know about the Stockport to Manchester services anymore but the slow trains only seem to stop at Heaton Chapel and Levenshulme, so there are lots of other places (whether they are on the route or not) that need better services for travel around that part of the region.

We have to change the mindset in this part of the country, Northerners have got used to “making do” but it’s affecting growth.

So that’s this weekend against Sunderland and West Ham affected by Metrolink strikes.

For that West Ham game it’s not just Metrolink drivers, but all Bee Network drivers including bus drivers. So not Mets or buses.

Tram drivers to strike on THREE MORE December dates including on New Year's Eve

Drivers are also set to walk-out this coming weekend

For the buses it’s just one union (currently) so shouldn’t be all the buses. Still, not good is it.

No one in their right mind will get a tram from Stockport to Manchester centre. It will be used for those wanting to travel, say, from Stockport to Parrs Wood or Didsbury.
