Metrolink to / from Etihad

Single trams from Altrincham bloody idiots.

Single units back to Altrincham - Metrolink TWATS.

Plenty of extras on the core section between Deansgate & the stadium before & after the match today. Empty tram going, minimal queuing & a seat on the return. No complaints from me again today.

Looks like the curve between Mossley Street & Piccadilly Gardens is going to be closed from Monday until at least the end of November.
This means anyone traveling from the west to the stadium will have to change at Market Street.
Will affect travel for the Fulham, Sevilla, Brentford & Chelsea games....

Reading that last paragraph it's not just the west, it's anyone on any services heading towards Deansgate Castlefield as it mentions no service between there and Piccadilly Station? Can anyone confirm this? It will be mayhem on bus replacement services and at Picc Station

Looks like there's no need to get on a tram replacement bus. If you're traveling from the Alty or Airport lines change at Market Street. From the Didsbury line, change at Victoria. From the Eccles or Trafford Park lines, change at Cornbrook & Market Street.

Yeah, it's bad enough on a normal days. Changing City fans plus Xmas shoppers should be fun!

Never got the metrolink home after a game before, anyone able to give me a rough idea how long it will take to get on a tram towards Ashton after the match? I'm also assuming if you walk to the stop by Asda, you aren't likely to get on, if it even stops there at all?

Going to Ashton is fine, it's going towards Picc that's the problem.
I doubt you'll queue for more than 15 minutes at the Etihad stop. You can't get on at the next stop - they bypass it so they can manage the queue better.
