Metrolink to / from Etihad

[Gray]

Went into Manchester on Monday the tram broke down between Stretford and OT Cricket Ground. Eventually struggled into OT and we all had to get off whilst the tram went back to the depot. If it had happened on a match day I would have been furious.

The saving grace was that we pulled into St. Peters Square just as the bugler was playing the last post for the rememberance service. Gun salute and 2 minute silence followed by a further gun salute. The tram remained stationary throughout. After the silence the tram driver appologised for the delay but as an ex-veteran himself he wished to pay his respects.

What a wonderful thing to do.

Already an issue on the East Didsbury line heading to Cornbrook.
Piss poor again.

Absolute disgrace by metro link employees tonight. Wanted tram back to city after game only to be told no trams are running you’d best start walking so went down Ashton side of trams to be told they are running to city centre. One turned up in less than 5 minutes

Metrolink hang your heads in shame. Told no trams after the game as MCFC staff had not set up the queue barriers. Told you're better off walking to town. Got as far as Holt Town when trams started coming passed rammed. Continued walking to Piccadilly.
Burnham, you're a fucking wankstain.
