Does anyone know if I can I get a train or preferably tram from Victoria in Manchester?

Thanks

Don't think so.

You can catch an Altrincham tram from Victoria. £3 return.

If you get off at the cricket ground & then it's a mile walk to Trafford Park.
The problem will be getting back.

Once again thanks Pal.

Thanks for posting that mate, much appreciated

No problem, don't think you'll be getting on with your bike for this one!

Is Thomas the tank going to manchester on Saturday

If you're getting the Met (tram) from town close to K/O, get it from Market Street or Piccadilly Gardens, it's earlier on the route so will be quieter - if you go to St Peters square you might struggle to get on - especially as there will lots of Wiganers pointing at electric lights and going "ugg".

Similarly, if you're getting the Met back into Sale/Atlrincham - best bet is to walk to Trafford bar rather than getting on at OT - same issues, busy, only this time the Wiganers will be trying to eat the bushes near the train tracks.

So if I get the tram form Victoria on the Altringham line, where do I get off and how far is that from O//T

Thanks again

We still have availability for a 7 seater minibus with a return after the game available and and 8 seater available with a later return.

There is a tram stop at Old Trafford cricket ground (called Old Trafford so you can't miss it). When you come out Old Trafford is right in front you, about a mile away. You can get that back into town if you like - they'll be a bit of queue but it moves quite quickly most times - it didn't last year, which is why I suggested moving to another stop. If you've never done the tram before, just go to Old Trafford and back, it'll be fine.

Trying to get on at Trafford Bar is daft because the tram will already be full after Old Trafford. Get the tram in the other direction to Stretford then get off, cross over, and back on so you're on before it gets to Old Trafford.

If you go the other way (from the Quays) then get on at Salford Quays rather than Exchange Quay because Exchange Quay will be a lot busier.

The train from right outside the ground is the easiest way though.

Is anyone who went on the rattler last year not doing so this year ?

Has anyone e-mailed Northern Rail , Trans Pennine Express and East Midlands Trains to ask about extra coaches being put on to help out ??

good luck to everyone getting train on sat i was meant to be but thankfully got a lift of a mate now

IT IS A TRAIN TO/FROM MANCHESTER, 15 RAIL MILES!

Calm down people!!!!
