Train to Old trafford

[samdav]

my and few mates are going to old trafford for a day out but what the best way once you arrive at manchester piccadilly

[Forever_United]

stay at the train station and the get the metrolink to Old Trafford. make sure get on an tram destined for Altrincham, Not Eccles or you'll find urself going the wrong way. then once at Old Trafford station just head straight down and luckily it takes u straight past the ground :)

Go downstairs to the tram station and get an "Altrincham" tram to Old Trafford.

When you get off, go under the line to the side of the cricket ground and walk up Warwick Road until you reach Chester Road.

Cross Chester Road and walk down Sir Matt Busby Way and you're there.

Just in case there's disruption on the way, you can also get an "Eccles" tram from Piccadilly, alight at Exchange Quay. Cross Trafford Road, turn right past Sam Patts, then left and first right. You'll see the ground on your left.

Couldn't have put it better myself! ;) Thats how I go about it...

....a little tip.

If your getting the same tram back to picadilly and the is a huge que to get on at
OT, get the tram to the next stop, switch trams there and then your heading back
the Picadilly way a you watch all the people waiting to get on! :p....lol

Just jib the tram no-one ever checks.

Tours usually you can just turn up. pre-book to make sure though.

[samdav]

could somebody tell me where the metrolink is in the train station

You walk out of the platform into the main station inside. Depending on what platform you are on, turn left and head near the toilets. You'll see some escalators and stairs going underground. Go down them and turn left. Down more stairs into the tram station.

not very long, i'd say around 15 mins.

the metrolink isn't hard to find, as there are loads of signs in picadilly station itself.

If it is, just say two of you are adults, and the other two are 15. Nothing hard, just bull your way through.

[Stephen]

What you mean by that?

You have your pic took, then you move on for the next person in the queue.

Don't know how long it's running for; presume it's as long as interest provails.

Not sure what is going on here but go to the official site like I suggested.
