The End of on Street Parking within walking distance of the Etihad

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

So have city put anything on the website (I can’t see anything) or made any extra provision for the loss of 100’s of parking spaces?

Probably put their car park prices up.

Private parking companies are offering spaces (house driveways etc.) around the Etihad for between £14 and £50 this Saturday 21st between 1pm - 6pm. Sign of things to come.

If you use one of them spaces officially. You can normally set up a deal with the house owner paying in cash. We use same guy at Wembley £12 a game.

That's the consultation. Have they actually published the TRO yet?

Keep saying it but this would be great.

Station near the Etihad.

Reinstate this bit of railway to run a service linking all Mcr's stations. Piccadilly, Victoria, Deansgate and Oxford Road.

£50m for a station used on 30 days a year?

£50m for a station used on 30 days a year?

Wouldn’t the new arena increase the number of days considerably?

The council should do a map of where their residents CAN park to watch a football match at the Etihad or publish why the 231 bus stops for night games. Or why trams are so shit. or or or

If there were already trains running past there regularly, it may have been feasible to build a station and have them stop there during events. Like they do at Wembley Stadium station.

But there aren’t, which would make the cost of setting up a service from scratch, so prohibitive, it wouldn’t even be worth starting to think about it.

They haven’t even bothered running trains into United’s ground for years, and that is all set up and available.

The only way I think it would work is if the trains that currently call at Victoria and then use the Ordsall chord to call at Oxford Rd and Piccadilly were diverted past the ground direct into Piccadilly. It would mean passengers would have to change trains to get to the airport but it would relieve pressure on the Castlefield corridor. This idea was looked at before the chord was built and HS2 was destined to destroy the idea but maybe now can be revived. I’ve never understood why they wanted a long distance service to call at 3 or 4 train stations in one city as it passes through. Like London you should just get to a terminus then use metro services to get to your final destination.
