Those of you who depend on Metrolink should be aware that, having scheduled to close the Altrincham line for one full weekend, plus the following Saturday, there has actually been no service now for FOUR full weekends ! Worryingly, this weekend's closure was never formally announced, and we only became aware of it because notices for the replacement bus service were put up at 4.30pm on Friday.
Regular readers of my posts will know that I'm an old cynic, and won't be surprised when I say "watch the bastards do it again NEXT weekend."
SO........if you're going to be tram dependent for the Burnley match, check on Saturday morning that they are in fact running - the replacement bus takes more than twice as long to get there, as it calls at every station.
