Metrolink to / from Etihad

Why does it not run during the day to Ashton from Alty ? It can be done in the evening why not when it matters.
Further, my point was about lack of planning. Every new line has to go into Manchester, why? It means the pinch points at Cornbrook and St Peters Sq really struggle.
Is Stockport goes ahead, that is also likely to use those stops.
There is lack of investment and planning
Altrincham to Bury is a very popular route, calls at the main points in Town including Victoria too.

No one travels from the Alty line to Ashton. Only time is for City games but Metrolink is serving the whole area and not just for City fans before and after a match.

Of course every route feeds into the city centre, that is the point.
 
Very rarely get the tram but thought i’d give it a go today with an 8yr old.

Going home from Exchange square to Rochdale was a 25min wait.
Twenty five f*cking minutes!!!!!!

Could not get on the 1st or 2nd tram due to overcrowding but managed to get on the 3rd.

Interesting experience in the bloody cold which i can honestly say now that they have 1000000000% lost another 2 passengers for the foreseeable future.
Appreciate you had an 8 year old with you but wouldn’t it be quicker - and cheaper - walking from / to Monsall to / from the ground than pissing about via town and the queues after the game to get on it?

Mate, that’s a good shout for future games.
In hindsight i should have drove like my daughter said in the first place or got an Uber.

But i thought with it being Xmas, it would be nice to have a few pints, have a mooch around Market Street, enjoy a tram ride and contribute to the local economy (Bee Network)

But unfortunately it looks like i got “stung”
I’ve decided i’m not putting either of us through that again
