Metrolink to / from Etihad

Ashburys station to Hyde is surely better and faster than a tram would be?

Too much of a walk to ashburys for some I go to the match with these days , so if Andy Burnham could get the tram to go to Hyde from Ashton that would be great until then car it is

With Victoria, I’ll pay a little more to go there from Lime Street as opposed to Piccadilly because it’s much faster and more comfortable.

The line is pretty good.

Dippers have a taxi share scheme from outside St George's Hall. Works a treat and costs £2 per head in a black cab. Never understood why something similar isn't done at our place given proximity to the city centre.

That's a good offer. It would certainly ease congestion. The taxi driver makes £4 and 33 fans get to the ground quite quickly.

The offer from City looks good but does it include every game, so PL, CL, FA cup and Mickey Mouse cup?

Yes

For the Brentford home game, the line is closed between St Peters Square and Piccadilly Gardens. If travelling from west and south west Manchester, a change of trams is required at Victoria...

Bit of a pain but not the end of the world. Seems there is never ending disruption on the network for one reason or another, which really does let it down. I see some prick's just decided to follow a tram down the tunnel at Piccadilly as well.

I guess because of the heavy use of the lines, they've got to replace the rails on a pretty regular basis

Am sure I had read it had been extended

Its not great in the real world tho. 4 hours before and 4 hours after. Whats use is 4 hours after when the concert finishes at 11 and trams stop 1 hour later….

The concert i went too, we went into town for food and drinks before the start time. So had to tap on. Then metro wasn't working thru Piccadilly (which we didnt know when we originally got on) so had no option but to get a cab to the venue.

I then couldn't get on a tram at the venue to come back, so another taxi back to town where we just made the last tram back to Alti (luckily so i thought).

Because it was in our minds it was free after, we all promptly forgot to tap off around midnight and so got charged full whack along with all the taxis.

Would have been cheaper in a limo there and back for 4 of us ffs

Never again, driving from now on!!

But it isn’t when you are a pensioner with a pass, you have to join the winding queue whilst people on this scheme jump the queue.

So getting on in life and not too good on your legs, you have to hang on until you eventually reach the front of the queue.

I am buggered if I am paying for it when I already have a pass.

I didn’t know you got to jump the queue!
