| so does the 33 run on Sundays
why no trains on a Sunday for Swinton/Walkden
Train to Salford Crescent from wigan either change there and train to Piccadilly then tram
or get the Bus 67, 100 to the top of Weaste lane alternative routes

Just had a look and trains are running from Wallgate to Piccadilly on Sunday.

33 does run on a Sunday but takes an hour and 12 minutes. (Source, GMPTE.)
No idea why there's no trains on a Sunday on that line. Neither do the staff at Northern Rail. The staff I've spoken to in the past are as confused about it as we are.
Or, forget the tram idea as its a long haul. Just get the train to the Crescent and catch the 100 to the end of Weaste Lane. Journey time, 1 hour and 8 minutes. (GMPTE travel Planner.)

Hahahaha. This is getting daft now. Hey, and they say public transport is a convenient way of travelling.
Look, it's probably best to get a lift to Blackpool where you should catch a plane to Barton. Once at Barton, go down to the Ship canal and hitch a lift on a boat as far as the Quays. When at the Quays, hail down a tuc-tuc and away you go. ![Shocked icon_eek.gif](images/smilies//icon_eek.gif)

| Any idea why though? Seems daft considering how busy the trains are in the rest of the region on a Sunday?
Apparently Sunday is the number one day of the week for shopping now!

| Simplest would be to get a train from Wigan Wallgate to Deansgate. Across the overbridge to the GMEX Metrolink Station, and catch a tram to Eccles, alighting at Weaste. The 1236/1336 departure will get you to Deansgate for 1311/1411, and then it's a 20 minute journey on the tram. On the way back, if you get the 1702 tram from Weaste, changing at GMEX, you can then get the 1740 train from Deansgate to Wigan, arriving back at Wigan Wallgate at 1811.
The through ticket you need to ask for is a Off Peak Day Return from Wigan Stations to Metrolink Zone H. Should be change from a fiver.

Forget what I said. Go with this!
Since when did trains run between Wigan and Man Pic/Deansgate? Either I've missed a trick or this service only runs on a Sunday? ![THINK eusa_think.gif](images/smilies//eusa_think.gif)

Ages. And it's not only Sundays cos I got the train from Deansgate to the cup game last year because it's closest to my office.

theyve run from wigan to pic for as long as i can remember, baring in mind ive only really started using the train within the past 5 or 6 years. i commute to salford uni every morning and usually get the vic train but sometimes manage to get the airport train when im feeling adventurous.

| I'm loving it this year, moved over from wigan to live in castlefield, i'm right next to cornbrook and just came on here to find out the best tram stop to get off. Should be an easy journey for me.
How busy do the trams get after the match? Just wondering whether it would be an idea to go for a pint and wait for it to calm down a bit before pushing on like a sardine.

| Never been on a "busy" tram affter a game yet. However, I've not been on a tram after a game with Wigan and their pretty sizable away following...
I'd go and have a pint if I were you.
