Metrolink to / from Etihad
- Thread starter Dial M 4 Mercer
- Start date
Left the ground with 10mins to go. Then waited 25 mins for a tram to Piccadilly. Then waited 20 mins for a tram to Trafford Bar where the service terminated. No buses nothing so walked to Stretford Station where the next tram to Sale will arrive at 23.45!! So should arrive home around after midnight Only took 2 and half hours from the Etihad to Sale. Absolutely ridiculous and this is not the first time on a match night.

I'm normally the first to call Metrolink, but I stayed for a pint in Summerbees, then got a tram straight to Picc, change for a single to Alty (why a single?) which wasn't too busy, then back to Sale and Spoons for a late finish. All in all. not too bad tonight

Overhead line stuff. Closing for 26 days (March 11-26) with rail replacement buses between Huddersfield and Manchester, although there will be a Leeds - Manchester train via Calder Valley. Bus service for Northern Stalybridge - AUL - Victoria as well.Full closure but surrounding weekends will be affected too on top of that. A press release is due in Jan apparently.
Same for all weekends from 18/2 until Sunday 7/5. So the Ale Trail has gone for 4 months!
Last night was one of the best matches I've seen, the result was always in doubt......... and you left with 10 minutes to go !Left the ground with 10mins to go. Then waited 25 mins for a tram to Piccadilly. Then waited 20 mins for a tram to Trafford Bar where the service terminated. No buses nothing so walked to Stretford Station where the next tram to Sale will arrive at 23.45!! So should arrive home around after midnight Only took 2 and half hours from the Etihad to Sale.
