Man Utd Train Station

I am going to Old Trafford next week for the first time in about 10 years (DiCanio)
Is the train station from Man Piccadilly to Old Trafford still operation?. The tram looks a bit dodgy for me to get my return train.

That was the day Johnson and Mozza nearly missed the train at Crewe and jumped on as the doors were shutting only to hear it was a dry train.
All we did was hide the beer under coats when the OB walked past

Long time ago, I remember OB confiscating beer cans on the way to Crewe at Euston, I think whuffy might have been a bit disappointed that day as well?

You'll know it's a dry train when you don't see Croe on it!

The FA Semi Final I think was the last time I can remember a dry train on Virgin.
I doubt you would know until you rock up at Euston as I've only every seen posters at the station in question.
I would think it will be fine, we've not cause any problems.

When will we know if it's a dry train, Croe son?
Not sure I've been on one for years!

There are times when Virgin make trains "dry" not allowing any drink on board or on sale.
Hasn't happened to West Ham for a long time now thankfully but then we've not had such a number travelling since the last time I can remember a dry train.
Happens all the time with Northern teams travelling south.

If you mean the trains from London to Manchester, you can drink on them, they even sell alcohol on the train.
If you mean the train/tram from Manchester Piccadilly to Old Trafford, I have no idea but its such a short journey it doesn't really matter whether you can or can't.

The people who really want to know, you could try phoning Network Rail information line and just asking them... instead of a West Ham online forum

I was going to fly, but it looks like the last flight back is 18.55 which I reckon I'd have about a 0% chance of making..

So does anyone actually know if the station is open or not?
Need to book a train back to STOKE after the game but not sure what time to go for.

I was told that it's never used in match days anymore because the crowds are too big. But that's just third hand information

No idea
Someone seems to think it's closed but I can't find that being the case anywhere.
They normally only have the times up a few days before the game.
Easy - The train station is 20 yards across the forecourt outside the away end....

I meant from leaving the stadium the tram is nearest to the away supporters, so you are not at the back of 75,000 others walking that way.

Not if the trains are running it's not
In the league game there were no trains due to engineering works.

tram is actually very good, used it for the league game, its the shortest walk where we leave the stadium and was quite efficient then.
