[train rant] In my (considerable) experience, it will stop, someone sat down halfway along the carriage will decide it's their destination and there will then be an interesting few minutes whereby someone has to hold the doors open whilst said person becomes intimate with everyone else as they battle their way, usually with a good few Primark bags, through. If you're into groping and unwelcome flesh contact, it'll be just up your street.

Other than that, yes it will stop and if it's full it'll just stay there for a minute or two to tease you when you blatantly can't get on (don't believe this though, you can always find a way!), the guard will get angry with everyone who isn't moving down and then it'll shut the doors and be on its way. To be honest you might as well get a train from Hindley to Wigan, get on at Wallgate and then go back. Or get a 12-seater 'Disco Jeep'. [/train rant]

trams were a nightmare all day! didn't even bother getting return tram back to Victoria... walked it and got lost in the back streets of Salford in a right dodgy area, managed to flag down a black cab though!

before the game we saw the queue for the tram and was like "no way". Taxi from deansgate took 5 mins and cost £6. No idea why groups of fans use the trams

Extra coaches on the train seem to be a simple answer, but i was informed that because 'some' smaller stations have shorter platforms, it was not possible. i cant see that myself.

Was stuck in the lowry car park longer than it took us to do the rest of the journey home.

In 2001 i decided that i would NEVER attend any more finals! after the biggest ever que formed for the trams to piccadilly
