  • Join me as I race ‪@NickBadley‬ from Trafford Bar to Manchester Airport, which is quicker, the Transpennine Express rail service or the Metrolink tram down the slow airport line?

    Someone needs to tell Nick about the Fairfield Street lift, a nifty shortcut from the Metrolink to P13/14 (I used to use it every day!)

    ‘He’s even running, who runs?’
    If you’d have run, you’d have made that Airport tram and won by loads.
    Really enjoyed that video 👏

    Probably your closest race so far

    Great video. I'd worked out it was firswood before but looks like you got it right. Very misleading for tourists the tram going to the airport. It's definitely more to connect wythenshawe.

  • @katrinabryce
    @katrinabryce Год назад +1

    I think the conclusion is, train is quicker if you have just missed the tram, and Transpennine is having a particularly good day.

    • @JamesTheBell1
      @JamesTheBell1 Год назад +1

      Agreed. If Jen had made the first Airport Tram she would have beaten Nick by about 10 minutes. If anyone finds themselves in this particular situation, I'd say take the first tram that comes, regardless of its direction of travel.

  • @AymanTravelTransport
    @AymanTravelTransport Год назад +2

    Given the difference was (VERY) marginal though, the tram would still appeal better to those with limited mobility (or lots of luggage) given no hassle of changing

  • @ccityplanner1217
    @ccityplanner1217 Год назад

    I expect that it would be quicker to change at Deansgate rather than Piccadilly, & if your train doesn't call at Knott Mill then quicker to run from the back exit of Castlefield to Oxford Road given that the tram goes really slowly up Mosley Street & you have to go through Manchester Piccadilly.

    Trafford Bar looks like what used to be called Old Trafford. Back in one of the many incarnations of this route you'd get a train from there to directly to the Styal Loop (which eventually sprouted the Airport Spur -- I'm not sure when it was built but I think it was after the rail line to Altrincham was converted to be a tram line.)

    • @JR34092
      @JR34092 5 месяцев назад

      Trafford Bar tram stop was called Old Trafford before the Metrolink conversion, and Old Trafford on the Metrolink used to be called Warwick Road.
