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

Just seen this it would be easier to say when working

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.

The drivers haven’t done the regular stop announcement for years.

Didnt Noel do them on automated system?

The next stop comes up on the screen as you leave the last sop and then they announce it as you are approaching. So you’ve two options to find out.

I know. Thanks. My point was, it is all automated now, unless the driver overides it to make some kind of special announcement.

Oh sorry, I should read all postings not just the ones that catch my eye. Sorry. :-)

Said on the platform sign today that on the Navy Line/Manchester Airport Service on Sunday for the Liverpool game, Mets are only going as far as Cornbrook, then it’s a bus replacement service from there.

Don’t know if that’s true of Altrincham, East Didsbury, Trafford Centre and Eccles lines?

There's a bit of works at Victoria that morning but can't see anything on the stuff you've mentioned. 23rd March is mangled, no footy though that day.

The travel alerts on their website says work is being carried out at Victoria which will impact services until 10AM on the day of the match.

The Rochdale and Bury services will terminate at Victoria, and the Esat Didsbury service will terminate at Exchange square, with replacement bus services operating between Victoria and Piccadilly until 11AM.

As the game kicks off at 4.30 PM, I think we can expect the usual crap service without any undue complications adding to the misery.

There are loads of works starting 1st March. No trams between St Peters Square and Piccadilly Gardens. Trams to/from Etihad will go to Victoria where you change to the rest of the network. Info

Yes. I didn't look too closely at those because I was thinking about this Sunday. Thank heavens for the bus service, which I'm increasingly using.

I'd recommend checking later if the Mosley Street accidents been cleared and that part reopened.

Should be OK tomorrow, thankfully our match wasn’t today.

Sadly a 3 year old girl killed so imagine it's going to be closed for a long period today but I'd imagine will be operational by tomorrow

Not on the tram or in the vehicle according to the BBC who say she was a pedestrian. Makes you wonder doesn’t it?

The van rebounded off the tram and hit the girl. Those junctions off Moseley street have seen numerous incidents with cars/vans not giving way to oncoming trams and sadly it's now resulted in a death.

Yes it is scary round there, some drivers think that a Red light doesn’t apply to them.

That sounds truly appalling.

That is sad to read.

My thoughts are with the family of such a tiny one!

It was suggested a while ago they move the red lights back 10-20m - then youre not gonna risk jumping it.
