The rail strikes next week do Metrolink still run or do they strike as well?

Cheers

Should all be running normally. When the Network Rail signallers were striking it used to affect the Altrincham line (the level crossing at Navigation Road is NR controlled), but the NR employees are no longer involved.

Well the Eccles one is closing anyway for 'repairs'....same time as last year apparently.

Entirely different workers and employers..

The Metro lads/lasses accepted a very decent deal/pay offer a few weeks back.

Bag of absolute shite. No other 1st world City would have something this shit and slow. It’s an embarrassment.

Would you notice if they were?

ha, good luck with that. If there's a major sporting or entertainment event on then they'll be off anyway.

Since when was declining voluntary overtime considered to be a strike?

There's RMT strikes next week involving on board and station staff, not connected to the current ASLEF drivers' overtime ban.

Empty double trams during the week days between the rush hours. Single overcrowded units after a City match, they are worse than useless.

Prestwich you say? I haven't received your Access Request.

Sorry about that. :-)

@Le Havre Oswald if he refuses you access we’re a welcoming lot in Eccles! Even if our trams don’t run often! ;-) :-)

Early heads up for Bournemouth match on the 2nd November. Trams from Altrincham are terminating at Old Toilet.

BASTARDS.

That was posted in 2023! They’ve opened it again since then….and closed it a few times. But I’d check on TfGM if I were you. :-)

Media City is on the Eccles line not on the Altrincham line

Yes the only day they actually run direct to the Etihad too. Hopefully the bus strike issue will be resolved by then otherwise it's a bit of a perfect storm brewing.
