Metrolink to / from Etihad

The lack of information available about this weekend's proposed Metrolink and Bee buses industrial action is unbelievable. Another example of a shit company not keeping it's customers updated.

I’ve been searching for the very same info this evening, and as you say it’s pathetic in its lack of detail everywhere you look.

Metrolink drivers are striking but there’s also news that buses are also affected yet there no information on how buses are affected, which buses are affected, what the plan is for the day across the bus network… bag o’shite!

Think we’ll all need to set off at about 8am and walk it.

Anybody know if the strikes are still on this weekend?

If the Metrolink is affected, will the match day buses be running?

Also can you just drive to the stadium and park in that massive car park?

Their web site just assumes everything is running as normal, they are an utter disgrace.

I'll be in the shit as I need either a bus or tram and I ain't cycling on pothole filled roads in the freezing cold.

I think you have to pre book on most car parks near the ground now.

The 216 bus runs every 12 minutes on a match-day. It's £2. There are also direct buses from the 216 bus stand (near Morrisons, Picc. Gardens).

 

[Marvin.]

And the strikes?

The bus drivers are not on strike as far as I know.

 

[Marvin.]

Try again.

Fresh strikes will take place on 12, 13, 19 and 20 December, with disruption across the Bee bus and tram network.

Do you have confirmation that no buses will be affected?

From what I understand its tram drivers and TFGM support staff who will be on strike.

Let's see if we can stick to the subject of the thread, please.

If you can walk, then walk after the game back into town, it's quicker

 

[Marvin.]

ok Mr Bee network expert. Forgive me for totally ignoring anything you post from now on.

I am not an expert, I am just answering the question. It was not my intention to be rude to anyone.

That's what I do whenever I'm over for a game. I tried getting the tram once. Utter bedlam at the stop at the Stadium. Never again.

 

[Marvin.]

sadly you have a history of being exactly that............



just put me on ignore pal.

You are the one who started with the idiot talk. The buses are running on Saturday as per normal. I checked for you.

I’ll never ever criticise working class people taking what limited action the greedy privatised Tory bastards have still allowed them in order to get a few crumbs off the Thatcherite table
We have the most draconian lack of workers rights in Europe
Fair fucks to the Mancs sticking up for themselves
If it inconveniences you, then consider how much these private overseas companies are rinsing from the UK taxpayer and reconsider your vote next time
Thatcher’s privatisation scam has wreaked havoc on this nation
