Yep. Absolute moron. Came past us at speed on the inside of a bus that had stopped in traffic driving the wrong way up the road. Hope he got what was coming to him.

What a joke. One of the busiest days of the year for tram usage. Is it a strike or improvement works?

Just recall it being flagged the other week on this thread and thought was worth flagging again.

I believe they are Cornbrook engineering works over the weekend.

Anyone trying to get the to the stadium would need to get off at Cornbrook and either wait for the replacement bus to take you to Piccadilly Gardens to catch the tram on from there, or walk to Picc (probably quicker!)

It is a joke and will be even more an issue for the return journeys home.

There's going to be express buses from East Didsbury to and from the stadium from anyone travelling from that direction...

Can't these engineering work at somewhere like Cornbrook be done at night? It's no good having a tram service that isn't working for many at big events.
