Metrolink to / from Etihad

[.db.]

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.

Awful to read. To make it worse, the van driver got out of his van and ran away from the incident (don’t know if he’s been caught yet).

Plymouth and Brighton games affected I think.

Ashton-under-Lyne services will operate to Victoria, calling at Piccadilly, Piccadilly Gardens, Market Street and Shudehill en-route.

I’m thinking a short walk round to Market Street might be best if they’re all coming from Victoria. Beat the chaos at Piccadilly Gardens.

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) bosses say they will ‘do everything we can to keep impacts of those works to a minimum’.

“We are trying to avoid key events where possible and we will [consider] putting alternative provision in place,” said Chris Barnes, TfGM’s network director for infrastructure, on Thursday (February 27).

So two 50000 plus events in those 2 weeks is them trying to avoid disruption???

Try their journey planner, it is rubbish.

Navigation road to Etihad, it sends you via Victoria which is fair enough. Press for the return journey and it has you walking from the Gardens to St. Peter’s Square which is bloody useless for anybody with walking difficulties.

It is about time that prat in the Mayors office got to grips with this organisation.

Well we have done better than the Rags this time as they have 3 fixtures to our 2.

It gives the quickest route. If you press ‘add a stop’ and put in Via Victoria, it’ll give you the times for Etihad- Victoria- Navigation Road.

Happy days on at Shudehill.Empty seats galore.

Our tram after the game pulled in to Victoria and before we could get off the Altrincham gave us two fingers and departed.

Utter twats, another 11 minutes before the next one.

Another Met broke down before the game yesterday grounding all Mets to the Etihad from Town with half an hour until kick off. Everyone got off and walked. That’s the third time that’s happened this season, plus two other occasions where a broken down car has blocked the Met tracks between Town and the ground.

That’s ¼ of our 20 home games so far this season where I’ve paid to get to the Etihad yet had to walk either the full way from Town or at least half of it.

They wanted fans to stop driving to the ground and use public transport, but the public transport is diabolically shit.

People still getting off the Altrincham tram at Cornbrook, idiots.

This direct tram from Crumpsall is great. Wish it was permanent.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

This direct tram from Crumpsall is great. Wish it was permanent.

Should definitely be looked at for match days, a lot of match going blues live between Crumpsall and Bury and match day bus service doesnt include Prestwich and Whitefield.

Will the tram service be back to normal running from Media City to the Etihad next Sunday.
