Metrolink to / from Etihad

[Gray]

Honestly mate, try the match day bus from Alty or Timperley Village.

Metrolink has it's uses but it is not the only option.

I have used it once and would have no hesittion to use it again. The Metrolink suits my purposes better but it is absolutely shit.

Once took a school trip to go on the Falkirk wheel, 5hrs to get there on the coach! And when we got there Closed due to high winds
: (
Amazing engineering though.

Have you been and tried the Anderton Boat Lift at Northwich? That is a wonderful piece of Victorian engineering.

Always thought it would be worth building a giants terminus turntable as a new centrepiece for Piccadilly Gardens?

A bit like how a driveway terminus works for a car?

Could easily have trams waiting like rolling stock on each branch of it.

Perhaps trams terminating at Piccadilly and just heading back to Etihad on matchday a lot quicker would solve lots of issues.

If anyone has visited the Falkirk Wheel, they can appreciate engineering solutions which are also iconic.

That, or can we just nuke Piccadilly Gardens, anyhow?

Add a couple of platforms at Picc Gardens and alternate trams could be shuttles and trams to other places.

Our next home game is Brentford in midweek. Half our fanbase cannot even get to Manchester to use the local transport network should it even be required. Our Manchester fans will struggle to get to Wembley if we get to the final. The main line service crew and ICF would wonder why in 2025 it's harder to travel around the UK than it was in 1975.

Let's see if we can stick to the subject of the thread, please.

Don’t think anyone would argue with your last sentence.
