It is a nuisance for Northern to divert a train (is it 2 or 3 they run each way?) and crew them up, together with platform staff at OT. It is much simpler to allow fans to catch the trams when they are every 6-minutes at most. Yes, a few will be inconvenienced at Piccadilly.Surely it's the passengers who decide if the heavy rail station is redundant or not. If Northern run Crewe-Stockport-Manchester-Old Trafford services on match days why would passengers from stations south of Manchester go to the hassle of changing to a tram at Piccadilly and paying extra for the privilege?
You can get tickets that include the tram.
