No mention of day tickets! I think that these will have been used by many enthusiasts on visit to Birmingham. I think that the last time I used this ticket – in September – it was priced at £6.60
Tony,
£6-60 for a day ticket,that makes Metrolinks day ticket for £5 seem like a real bargain considering the size of the system.Especially for the enthusiast,you can fly into Manchester airport then jump on a tram to Altrincham,Ashton,Bury,Eccles,East Didsbury, Oldham and Rochdale all for a fiver.yet people still moan about the fares being to high on Metrolink.Some people are never happy.(ha ha).
