Quote brewedindublin="brewedindublin"Trains last night were a joke, 9.20 from Piccadilly was like a cattle truck. Stupid station staff and stupid railway police telling folk to move down the carriage, which had people nearly stood on one anothers heads. It was not safe and to have railway police urging you to crush people is a disgrace. Surely Northern Rail knew that loads of extra customers would be getting the train home from Old Trafford, so obviously to everyone but them all they needed to do was attach a couple of extra coaches and problem solved-Simples. Got on the tram at Broadway sat down and still seats available, by the time we got to Exchange Quay the tram was crammed (along with someone with a sickly bottom) leaving Hundreds of fans stood on the platform and beyond! rant over.'"
Extra coaches is something train services never seem to do, whatever the event. Really annoys me. I go to Southport Air Show most years, and it's the same with that.
