You might want to factor the extra time into your journey plans!

You might want to factor the extra time into your journey plans! Thanks for this, I've only booked train tickets as far as Piccadilly for now, will probably get the tram to Altrincham after a few hours round Manchester City Centre and a trip to the national football muesum. Also gutted that I didn't realise the England game is on at 5pm and I'm booked on the 6:20 train home Logged Offline 0 0 Reply: 1 - 19 Les Brechin November 4, 2014, 9:26am Moderator Posts: 20,527 Posts Per Day: 4.54 Reputation: 82.64% Rep Score: +111 / -23 Location: Grimsby Approval: +8,488 Thanks for that but it shouldn't really effect most people traveling from Grimsby as you change at Stockport, so no real need to go into Manchester, unless you were planning a couple of hours on the urine there first.   [img]https://news.images.itv.com/image/file/402260/image_update_img.jpg[/img] OFFICIAL FUNDRAISER FOR THE BRAIN TUMOUR CHARITY TOTAL AMOUNT RAISED SINCE AUGUST 2008 £16299.16 LATEST DONATION - FROM COLLECTION TIN AT WORK - OCT 2020 AMOUNT RAISED £140.51          Logged Offline 1 0 Reply: 2 - 19 Chrisblor November 4, 2014, 9:52am Elemér Berkessy Vodka Drinker Posts: 5,723 Posts Per Day: 1.20 Reputation: 76.56% Rep Score: +51 / -16 Location: space Approval: +4,229 That bloody tram. My girlfriend's a Portsmouth supporter and a couple of weeks ago we went to see them playing in Bury. We arrived in Manchester by train at 1pm expecting this would leave us with plenty of time to reach Bury by tram. On arriving at the tram stop on Market Street, we were informed the tram to Bury wasn't running that day due to engineering works, and a replacement bus was in operation. The bus took such a stupid meandering route we missed the first 10 minutes of the game! Based on that experience, my advice would be change trains in Stockport - don't rely on Metrolink replacement buses as they are slow and terrible and will cause you to miss kick-off. gary jones Logged Offline 1 0 Reply: 3 - 19 WOZOFGRIMSBY November 4, 2014, 9:52am Special Brew Drinker Posts: 9,484 Posts Per Day: 2.79 Reputation: 78.12% Rep Score: +60 / -17 Location: glarster Approval: +3,722 At the pound pub les ??

Takes less than half an hour.
