Metrolink to / from Etihad

[Vic]

And if it's private hire it should be booked in advance, or is that no longer the case?

Correct - but if you spot a free private hire vehicle you can phone him and legally book it - I think.

I think you have to phone the taxi firm's office, but I'm not sure the drivers were worried about that.
Is it legal to pay whatever the correct fare should be and just walk off?

Salford Quays return tonight.
Great for once.
Coming back the queue was quick,let an Altrincham go by for an Eccles minutes later.
Must have been about only 15 minutes from queue to tram entry.
If only like that all of the time.Seat at Piccadilly as well.

Strangely, traffic to/from the game was the best we have had in years. Don’t know whether it was time of match, opposition, f a cup audience??

Same crowd as always + i would imagine more Salford .
So i guess it was just a luckt night to use the metro.

Merrill Street was closed off to traffic, so trams just sailed up the road.

Maybe because there were so many families and less single season card holders

Kinell, has the penny finally dropped with TfGM/GMP do you think? Posters on here have only been suggesting this for the past decade!

The Etihad was full of locals on Saturday, both home ans away fans.

The Mets were a breeze after the game n’all.

I bet there were 10,000 more locals in for that game than there at the recent Manchester derby in December. Maybe more.

There were shit loads of local kids with their Dads sat near me and quite clearly very few of the usual tourists who couldn’t have pointed to the Etihad on a map two decades ago. The kids went wild when Foden came on. You could noticeably hear their local accents.

Loads will have walked to the ground and back home on Saturday. Loads will have walked back to Town and dispersed from there. Those that did drive will have had more than one individual in cars as they went as a family because they could afford it for once, which will have meant fewer cars across the attendance.

I wish that was the sort of crowd that was at the Etihad every game.

Said the exact same thing - Fantastic reception for Foden coming on .

It was great to see all those fans of the future. A really nice vibe around the stadium as well.

And then, for the very next home game, it’s £48-62 FOR CHILDREN!

Just think what they’d charge if there wasn’t a cost of living crisis and people weren’t so skint……

The Eccles line is shut for virtually the whole of February. So that is going to change the normal running order for the Madrid, Newcastle and Liverpool games.

Can’t see any reason why it should mean any less trams to and from the ground though, so hopefully it won’t be too bad.

All Eccles bound trams will terminate at Media City UK. That's it.

There's a surprise!! The Eccles line seems to need a holiday every 6 weeks.... must want school holidays.

I know. Wasn’t it shut for about 6 weeks solid some time last year?

Or am at that age where time goes so quickly, I’m thinking of a time about 10 years ago?

If anyone knows the driver, tell him/her that they are a bollox.
You need to announce the next station AFTER you leave the last one, not before you get to it.

I got off at the wrong stop because the fucker announced the station next just before we got into the one before.

Bastard.
