The tram is utter shite,they are always cancelling services on days with big events when a lot of people would use them,what sort of business sense is that?

On Wednesday from about 6:50pm i waited for a direct tram to the stadium,two turned up going to Ashton,both jam packed and only a couple of carriages.An announcement was telling people to get the tram to Piccadilly where they could then change and get one to the stadium.Well unless things have changed my experiance was if you got a tram to Piccadilly you were directed out of the station and had to queue for a tram that came from the City centre which is usually full,so you may as well have stayed there in the first place!

Eventually i squeezed on one,squeezed being the word and spent a very uncomfortable 10 minutes jammed like a sardine until i got to the stadium,never again!

Pain in the arse.
Not only trams but the Chester/ Manchester train route is being messed around with.
Its telling me that Greenbank to Piccadilly is 2 hours plus with a bus ride involved and the same the way home - one word - begins with a c and ends in unts

Agree totally.The people who run transport in this country and in particular Manchester should be forced to travel on it for a year,they would soon buck their fucking ideas up!

Yep - 2 hours and the last 'train' home isn't late.

I'm staying in Ibis near Great Ancots Street for £30 so planning on enjoying the night (assuming we win) and not two hours desperate for a drink and a piss.
