  • Join me as I race ‪@NickBadley‬ from Trafford Bar to Manchester Airport, which is quicker, the Transpennine Express rail service or the Metrolink tram down the slow airport line?

    Someone needs to tell Nick about the Fairfield Street lift, a nifty shortcut from the Metrolink to P13/14 (I used to use it every day!)

    0:51 Jen: “Who runs?!”
    Next shot of Jen - heading down to the platform as the tram leaves. Run, Jen!

    ‘He’s even running, who runs?’
    If you’d have run, you’d have made that Airport tram and won by loads.
    Really enjoyed that video 👏

    Given the difference was (VERY) marginal though, the tram would still appeal better to those with limited mobility (or lots of luggage) given no hassle of changing

  • @SamsVlogstrainsmore

    Very epic race Jen & Nick. Congratulations to Nick for winning! I’ve never actually been to Manchester Airport myself.

  • @ccityplanner1217
    @ccityplanner1217 ปีที่แล้ว

    I expect that it would be quicker to change at Deansgate rather than Piccadilly, & if your train doesn't call at Knott Mill then quicker to run from the back exit of Castlefield to Oxford Road given that the tram goes really slowly up Mosley Street & you have to go through Manchester Piccadilly.

    Another fantastic Tram vs Train Race Jen I cannot believe how close victory was for Nick only 1 minute this must of been the closest race so far I continue to enjoy watching your Vlogs Jen carry on being awesome keep up the good work take care and stay safe and I look forward to watching your next Vlog whenever that maybe

    I feel like in these videos Jens sat on one train or tram putting on effort in and everyone else is running all over the place.
    This sounds a bit like I’m hating but I’m not sorry

  • @katrinabryce
    @katrinabryce ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think the conclusion is, train is quicker if you have just missed the tram, and Transpennine is having a particularly good day.

    • @JamesTheBell1
      @JamesTheBell1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agreed. If Jen had made the first Airport Tram she would have beaten Nick by about 10 minutes. If anyone finds themselves in this particular situation, I'd say take the first tram that comes, regardless of its direction of travel.

  • @martinusher1
    @martinusher1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Trafford Bar looks like what used to be called Old Trafford. Back in one of the many incarnations of this route you'd get a train from there to directly to the Styal Loop (which eventually sprouted the Airport Spur -- I'm not sure when it was built but I think it was after the rail line to Altrincham was converted to be a tram line.)

    • @JR34092
      @JR34092 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Trafford Bar tram stop was called Old Trafford before the Metrolink conversion, and Old Trafford on the Metrolink used to be called Warwick Road.
