    Nice to see the Trafford Centre Tram now going to Crumpsall instead of just Deansgate Castlefield. Makes getting in to the city a lot easier

    Manchester Metrolink (Non speculative discussion)

    Manchester Metrolink (Non speculative discussion)

    I think it makes sense to rename it. A lot of visitors wouldn't associate Barton Dock Road with part of the Trafford Centre

    Manchester Metrolink - Speculative ideas on how to improve it?

    We only visit once or twice a month and find the current maps adequate to find our way around

    Greater Manchester combined bus/tram/train ticket?

    I read that as it will search for only Manchester postcodes and other postcodes can enter their address manually :D

    Greater Manchester combined bus/tram/train ticket?

    I live in Cumbria and have a Get Me There card. Just ordered them online then top up whenever we are visiting Manchester. Not just for locals as far as Im aware https://getmethere.com/get-me-there-card

    Inadequate Metrolink ticketing facilities at Manchester Victoria

    Im an "out of towner" and I soon figured out that contactless is accepted and how to use it before getting on the tram

    Metrolink contactless payment

    We have the "Get Me There" cards and just add what we need in the week we are travelling. Makes it easier for us

    GMPTE traincard travelling to zone 2

    Didnt know you have to tap in and out at a zonal boundary? I get a zone 1 to 3 ticket on my getmethere ticket and just tap in at the start and out at the the end of the journey. Am i wrong?

    Halifax to Leeds in December

    Excuse if I sound thick but very rarely use trains. We are looking at a day out in Leeds when we visit Halifax in early December. Trainline says £17.20 for 2 Anytime Returns. Is this the best way to buy the tickets? Anytime return will be good as we have no idea how long we will spend in Leeds...
