There is a national rail platform adjacent to the South Stand at Old Trafford - in fact it is almost in the South stand. Shuttles consisting of several carriages run from Piccadilly & Oxford Road stations for every MUFC home game.
It is surprising, therefore, that this service is apparently not running for matches the 2012 Olympics. Spectators will instead be crammed on to low capacity Metrolink trams and shuttle buses. The Metrolink stations are all much further from the ground than the national rail platform.
