Manchester Metrolink (Not)

Unofficial Metrolink service updates direct from a regular tram user. Or, “the real reason your tram is late”. Available weekdays, and a parody, obviously...

@heresjonnyp @MCRMetrolink These protests are costing us a pretty penny, but I think we can stretch to that. Deal.

Please fax your refund request to 0161 505050. We'll reply within 90 days.

My name is Eddie and I am 14-years-old. I am making a documentary about delays on the @MCRMetrolink for @YouTube. (already contacted @tfgm :) ) Am looking for someone to share their views on the service via video chat or something like that to be included. #metrolink #Manchester

Some joyless plonker reported us as an 'impersonation account'...how dare they! Our bio is clear that this is unofficial and parody, but our name has now changed slightly to meet the rules of our Twitter overlords. #WeAreAParody 🤣🙄🤷‍♂️

Don't forget tomorrow is #FreeRideWednesday - no tickets required anywhere on the network between 11:35 and 11:45.

How far will you go?

Alan here to answer your questions this morning. So far we're running a good service on all lines (that just means trams are moving about the network - it's not like anyone's greeting you at the door or carrying your bags).

We'll likely be playing "signal failure bingo" later 🤷‍♂️

@MetrolinkNo @willohara @ComeOnMetrolink @MetrolinkAction @metrolinkFAILS @MetrolinkHQ @MetroMeerkat We would but one of the doors is stuck. Expect delays.

We're sorry for an inconvenience caused.

🤷‍♂️

@JakeStubbz @ComeOnMetrolink @MCRMetrolink @AndyBurnhamGM Take some time out to relax and reflect on the week with a coffee Jake? #SilverLining

[Manchester Metrolink (Not) @HonestMetrolink]

@MetrolinkNo @willohara @MCRMetrolink This is awkward...

@levineg I'm not sure about you Gary, but we don't think the potential advent of WWIII is any laughing matter.

[Manchester Metrolink (Not) @HonestMetrolink]

Yesterday's points failure issue has been blamed on the USA launching a cyber attack against us mistakenly. We can only assume, therefore, that today's delays & issues are brought to you by Iran.

Fun fact: Metrolink trams can probably survive a nuclear strike.

[Manchester Metrolink (Not) @HonestMetrolink]

@JamesRenhard @OfficialTfGM Wonderful James! Always happy to hear from a customer who understands that things do cost more - and who appreciates that the odd issue or hiccup here and there sometimes happens!

Hope today's issues haven't caused a delay for you 👍

Ensure you make time to vote this morning before you head to work (or maybe do it afterwards?) Not sure where to vote? Find you local polling station here. You don't need ID or your polling card. https://t.co/rAfiia7bIl #GE2109

[Manchester Metrolink (Not) @HonestMetrolink]

@BillCarr85 @MCRMetrolink Theres a delay... 🤷‍♂️ We know as much as you.

[Manchester Metrolink (Not) @HonestMetrolink]

@levineg You may want the *actual* Metrolink folk over at @mcrmetrolink

[Manchester Metrolink (Not) @HonestMetrolink]

This is *not* allowed. Today wasn't #PetsOnTheTram day https://t.co/Dv5SIxm58J

[Manchester Metrolink (Not) @HonestMetrolink]

Remember tomorrow the 3rd of December is #PetsOnTheTram day! We're welcoming all sorts of pets from cats to canaries, from eels to elephants.

Spot prizes will be handed out for the most unusual pets by our team of Pet Inspectors 🏆

[Manchester Metrolink (Not) @HonestMetrolink]

@trequartbeasta That is 100% allowed Jamie 👍

[Manchester Metrolink (Not) @HonestMetrolink]

I'm not sure how to tell you this, but it appears we're running a good service on ALL lines this morning. I know, we're as shocked as you...the cold weather normally fucks everything up 🤷‍♂️
