Just in time for the Commonwealth Games :)

cynic lol

11 yrs late is not bad for these jokers

Considering the Governement of the day cancelled the project, and eventually the funding was only released 4 years ago I would have to disagree.

Does any one know if there is anywhere to park near the Droylsden stop, might be a good way to beat the traffic East?

does this mean no more early leavers?

Gonna benefit me anyway. Currently pay £1.40 for tram Castlefield to Piccadilly then £3.90 for a one day bus ticket to take me upto Edge Lane Droylesden for pre and after match drinks so £5.30 cost.
On the tram its £2.90 return so cant grumble at that

Fuck that. Imagine the queues after 80 minutes +?

Think I may have to depart on 75 to ensure a nice relaxing ride back to the pub.

I personally can't what for the Wythenshawe line to be complete. It's a pain in traffic to and from at times.

Won't be long before the Rochdale stretch is done! Matchday - Littleborough to Rochdale on the bus, Rochdale to Oldham on the tram, Oldham to Victoria on the tram, Victoria to Piccadilly on the tram, and whoopee, Piccadilly to Sports City! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Actually, I think I'll fuck that off an' come in the car!

The normal scheduled tram to Droylsden is to run from Bury via Victoria and Piccadilly, but DEBE could get the train from Littleborough to Victoria then pick up the Droylsden tram to the Etihad.
