Travel information for a Day Trip to Manchester (self.reddevils)

just_roo_itRooney が 投稿

Alright. Just booked myself a day trip to Manchester for the Watford match. I'll be visiting Dublin for the weekend but couldn't pass up the chance to go to Old Trafford. Here is the plan:

  • 8AM - 9AM Dublin to Nottingham
  • 9:30AM - 12:30PM Nottingham to Manchester (My cousin is picking me up and taking me to Manchester)
  • 12:30 - 2:30PM Sam Platts or Bishops Blaize for pre match drinks
  • 3PM - 4:50PM Old Trafford
  • 4:55PM - Grab the first or second (likely second) train from Old Trafford Station to Manchester Piccadilly. I know the train schedule is released a fee days before the match so I am hoping to be in Piccadilly by 6pm latest.
  • 6PM - 6:45PM - Manchester Piccadilly to Manchester Airport
  • 7:30 PM - Gate closes and flight departs back to Dublin by 8pm.

Any thoughts on this? When I get into Manchester I plan on stopping by a train station and grabbing a day ticket so I can switch trains at Piccadilly quickly. From my understanding the platform that takes you to Manchester airport is directly across from the train that arrives from Old Trafford Station. I am also going to add fast track from ryanair to my ticket. Given I don't have any bags I am hoping the security won't take long. I am sitting in the West Stand above the Stretty so unless we are winning by at least 2 goals I don't think I will be able to catch the first train. Either way, the sooner I get to Piccadilly the better. If the queue outside of Old Trafford is crazy long I plan on walking a bit away from the stadium towards the tesco on chester road and just calling an uber to the airport.

Also anyone know if the Munich memorial will be on that day? It will be our first home match after Feb 6th. Thanks guys!

Cutting it pretty fine in terms of getting checked in and through airport security in 45 minutes aren't you?

Also, the queues for the train at Old Trafford are just stupid unless you miss the last 5/10 minutes of the match. Depends on whether you're prepared to do that.

I know. I think since I have 2 and a half hours since the match ends till the gate closes I should at least be able to grab an uber if I just walk down to the Tesco. That way I will be at the airport by 6:15-6:30 at the latest and then have plenty of time for security. I will have my boarding pass on my anyway so should be able to go straight to security instead of mucking about.

Best case scenario we are winning by 2 or 3 goals and I can head out early. I have been to Old Trafford loads of times so not missing much, never had to take the train out after the match so this would be my first time.

How would you recommend getting back to Piccadilly? I'm going to the Bournemouth game (from down South) Kick off is 12.30 and I'm not sure what time to get my train home. Was thinking of 5:15 to be reeeeeally safe!

grabbing the train outside of old trafford (the station is called Manchester United Football Ground) is the easiest. As jp-dizzle said thought the queues are long depending on what time you are looking to get there. If you have time then you could hang about Old Trafford and catch the 3rd train. 3rd train usually leaves an hour after the match ends.

You could also walk a bit away and take the trains from Trafford Bar.
