Well going off the CAZ proposals, they really don't give a fcuk about us peasants that use it.

Nah, the Tube’s fine apparently.
Ha ha just seen that. Some didn't make it to the ground and any that did had to walk back after. What a shame !

So no Metrolink this morning into Manchester for people in the South of the City. It is long overdue that those responsible for its operation are bought to task.

Not just the trams that don't work. I was at Leeds station with a mob of Utd fans trying to get the 6.15 train back to Manchester. Loads of trains cancelled due to signalling failure's and those that still bothered got on a slow train that got into Manchester after 8pm.

No trams on Eccles line replacement bus service. Ashton line running to be Bury instead. People coming from Eccles should be able to board a tram at cornbrook or deans gate and change at picc or picc gardens.
Same situation weekend of the Derby too

Wonder if there will be any Etihad specials running from Deansgate or Cornbrook for people coming from the south, or else it will mean changing in the city centre for the revised Bury to Ashton
Advance warning on the day of the derby game all trams that normally pass through Cornbrook won't be as it's closed on that day.
Manchester City host Manchester United at the Etihad in the Premier League on Sunday 6 March (Kick off 4.30pm).
If you're travelling to watch the fixture our key advice is:

- Metrolink Engineering works will take place at Deansgate-Castlefield. There will be a replacement bus service operating to help continue your journey.
