No trams in August

I got a letter from GMPTE today saying there will be no trams this side of Manchester Victoria throughout August. They will be working 24 hours a day upgrading the line and stations. A replacement bus service will be provided >:( >:( >:(

When you say this side of Manchester Victoria, what exactly do you mean? Will there still be a tram service to Altrincham? Only, i haven't been to a home game since the 4-0 defeat of Weymouth, and have since read in The Manchester Evening News, towards the end of last season, that the trams would commence from the G-Mex. Is this still the case? I normally get on at Manchester Piccadilly, but walking to the G-Mex, and getting on from that stop, doesn't sound too much of a trek. I don't fancy getting a bus all the way, if i can avoid it. ???

You can get a train from Piccadilly to Altrincham. I think there is only one an hour on Saturdays but if you time it right it must be better than the bus.

Five people sharing a cab, just about any driver would do it all the way from Town for twenty sovs up front. Four quid a head door-to-door. Good value in my book (you'll not find me on match day either !)

Just rethinking this, having slept on it. If there are four of five of you who need to get from and to Piccadilly on a match day, perhaps I COULD sort it out for you during August. I come to the game in my cab anyway !

cheaper than a taxi too.
