Quote: tedglen "Northern normally run special trains to and from Old Trafford
Piccadilly > Oxford Road > Deansgate > Old Trafford station.
The last time I caught it, I seem to recollect that the journey was covered (but please check when you purchase!) by the "Machester Stations" on the ticket into Manky.
Failing that, and you use the tram, don't get the tram to Old Trafford, use the Eccles line and get off at Exchange Quay... less busy, and probably a shorter walk.'"
Can anyone confirm they do this every year? It would be ideal but I can't find any details on the net or by ringing Northern Rail
