I'm working on the railways as we speak and the best way is to get to Deansgate and Tram it to OT. Trust me.

I hope the 100 or so Wire fans got to the game in good time. My party were going for the 3pm Padgate train but I had a call sayng the 1pm train was full and didn't let anyone on. Plan B drove to the Lowry and parked there instead.

Bad planning from the rail company

I'm not in the know about these things but I'd assume they're planned months in advance (including how many carriages a train has).

We had the same problem at Earlestown when the Bank Quay train came in nearly full & there must have been a hundred on the platform which filled all the standing room,then because a door wouldn't shut properly the train had to go out of service & everybody told to get off.The trains on the Liverpool to Manchester line were also full & going straight through. We finished up going by car.

coming home was dreadfull we tried deansgate 2 trains went past full so went to oxford road train full, went piccadilli and couldnt get on the platform.
