The ultimate geekings were compensation for attempts to phase me out 😂

The next tram display on the Metrolink, reminds me of when the Luas first opened. The next tram display was around about the middle of the stop, but the display was just on one side of the display, so if you were getting on at the front of the tram. You could not see how long it was before the next tram arrived. Since then, they have put display it on both sides.

Excellent video Jen 👍 Manchester Transport Museum looks worth a visit.

Definitely worth it 🙂

Brilliant video Jen! Look forward to the next! 👍🙂

Nice video Jen! I still need to get myself of to Manchester to ride the trams, ha!

Valid in All Metrolink Stops. TfGM really know how to do tickets just for Jen

Hi Jen and co', Brilliant video once agaim, full of humour and interesting facts. You inadvertantly gave me a reminder that one day, (or 2) I must visit the Manchester Transport Museim. I was pleased that you all ventured upstairs on some of the buses as I was able to identify where one or two of them were built. One had a Weymann body on it's chasis and another had an Eastern Coach Works on body on a Leyland chasis. ECW used to be right here in Suffolk within the resort of Lowestoft which was a lovely place back in the 50s and 60s. Eventually ECW was bought out by Leyland who subsequently closed the factory causing 12,000 workers to lose their jobs thus ripping the industrial heart oit of Lowestoft. They were the largest employer in the town. Even the fishing industry has suffered due to the EU factory ships. Well done on this video, now looking forward to the 2nd half. Take care, Jon B.

I realise I may be splitting hairs here but wouldn't Woodlands Road have been a British Rail station before Metrolink opened rather than a National Rail one?

Woodlands Road remained open as a Metrolink stop at first. I wonder how it did in the least used British Rail station charts

Ooh the Transport Museum looks fab, I must go there! Love you three.

Manchester Transport Museum added to my list 😊 Another fab video, thank you.

It’s over 30 years since I went to the transport museum. The closest stop of cause was Woodlands Road and the tram had just opened. . Great to see it so well used. You all have so much fun making these videos. You need to do the Hadfield line, not only is it my local station but there is great scenery just 35 mins from Manchester.

I was in Manchester in Nov 2022 staying at premier inn in bury and due to issues in the city centre with the track my tram from Piccadilly terminated at the bay platform at crumpsall so it has been used before

Bury good video Jen you can buy a metrolink tram mug

Lmfao! Yall are so silly! I love it!

Selnec then Greater Manchester Transport and that GM bus advert brings back memories! Then it was GMN taken over by First and GMS which Stagecoach bought out after a management buyout - or was it the other way around. Anyway, back to trams!!!

Until recently at Crumpsall there was an old school Metrolink sign up on the road bridge, but it looks like it's been removed. Abraham Moss was built to replace Woodlands Rd with Queens Rd being a separate project. The Bury line is probably the most neglected of all the metrolink lines and needs major improvement to infrastructure and stations which essentially haven't really changed since BR days with the exception of signage and the demolition of buildings at certain stations

Manchester is a amazing place to visit and I still would like to go Manchester and to ride on the Metrolink. And the M5000 trams are so quiet and smooth. Also I still think that TfGM should extend the Manchester Metrolink to Port Salford and to Stockport. Still what a good day out riding on the trams in and around Greater Manchester.

This was a Bury good video Jen! Cannot wait for the final part of the Metrolink, Also never visited the Manchester Transport Museum

You probably know this but there's a transport museum in Bury. It's up near Bolton Street Station about 5 minutes brisk walk from Bury Interchange.

Interesting to see the old 'clipper card' - that's now the name of the smart farecard in the San Francisco Bay area.

I need to go to Manchester again... First time was in the late 80s, then beginning of the 90s, and the last time was 2013 and I got confused because of what happened in 1996. Builings were moved, and I couldn't find my way west of Piccadilly Gardens! And also, Mr Kuk's Chinese Restaurant was nowhere to be seen. Kuk is definitely a "rude" word in Swedish, so I liked that name. Mark Addy's was there 2013, but is now lost to a watery death... I'll have to drag my friend, kicking and screaming, to Manchester soon.

Great video Jen always enjoying your content. 😊

Weird coincidence, I saw a stall at Altrincham Market today which was selling T-Shirts with clipper cards, the old logo and other Manchester stuff on them. I've also got one of those ticket machines, the belt worn ones, somewhere...

Uniqlo??!! My fav shop. And thats a great museum. Odd to see a tram I remember being introduced in there. Good fun.

Brilliant video Jen, the Manchester transport museum sounds like an awesome place to visit. And don't get me started on what some of the newer buses are like at the moment, makes me wish we could have the older ones back.

What, Atlanteans? Fleetlines? Dominators? Even (shudder) VRT's?

Last time I went to Manchester, I don't think the trams were there. I remember going from Victoria to Bury - must have been the late 1980s.

Great video, Jen and friends! The museum looks good (but empty!) I had a friend who lived briefly in Manchester and his work put him up in an amazing flat near the Shudehill tram stop (at least I think so - I recognise the area from about 15 years ago!) and his block of posh apartments was about the only thing amongst car parks and derelict warehouses (it had a pool on the 15th floor!)

Great video, looking forward to the finale!

Fab vid

pacer wow simon will love that place.

Was wondering when this would release 😂😂!

Have you considered just leaving him at home?

Haha, I'll try that next time!

7:27 - Why was I expecting Bryn to chirp in with a Why Bird Stop or something? 9:33 - Oh good, that annoys me too! (I'm 6'3") 10:28 - Used Crumpsall a lot to visit a friend at the nearby hospital a few years ago, which was fun dodging through all the building work for that platform that still isn't used. Though I did manage to miss the stop through tiredness/daze and have to turn back at Bowker Vale more than once.

Please don't remind me of the incorrect priority sign that was on the tunnel in the opening of Playdays. It upset me as a child and I've still not recovered. Yes, I was that pedantic even as a three year old...

I've seen videos on KZread that show the British Rail Bury Exchange to Manchester Victoria DC line.

My met line! I have been excited for the Bury line. Please ease off on the moist

Hi, Jen. Your videos are incredibly relaxing. You're actually looking as good as Neil Diamond. I watched your channel for more time than Geoff's or Nick's in January 2024. If your channel stat shows considerable viewing from South Korea, that must be me. I don't get very tired of watching your same videos again and again which means the more I watch your videos the more I appreciate and enjoy incredible editing and production quality. Every self-respecting and civilised town must have trams. After Manchester, why not visit every tram stop in Lille just across the English Channel?

When was this filmed? I was around Manchester this weekend. I would love to bump into you.

I couldn’t agree more re Trafford Park line. It’s better now they terminate to Deansgate-Castlefield than Cornbrook but they really need to get out there to Crumpsall, even if it went to Victoria, it’s better than nothing. It’s only been 3 and a half years TfGM…!

Hey Jen, I live near Wirksworth

Is there gonna be a part 2 to this

On doubledeckers I prefer sitting in the front on top.

So if they get round to extending the Trafford Park service, will it go via Exchange Square or Market Street?

Don't think I've been to the transport museum in Manchester. Any good?

Love you

How did they build the curved Collyhurst Tunnel?

Blimey, I assumed it was still the NYNEX!

Funds for Cornwall!

I want that tee-shirt 😂

Can you do a video on the new Manchester Bee Network?

Jen does history and facts? Since when? 😝, appreciating the Jen and Bryn factual interlude though. The MEN arena will always be just the 'MEN'

Hi

The I had to get onto another tram that terminated at bury

MOIST!!!!! he yelled at the screen lol lol Being drizzled on is reserved for fish or chicken in a pan lol lol.

how does he stick around like tha?

The lack of integration is ridiculous. You should be able to get a ticket from Birmingham to Bury. It's embarrassing that big towns like Bury don't exist when you go on Trainline and try to buy a ticket.
