FULL JOURNEY! Ashton-under-Lyne to Manchester Victoria! | 24/04/2024

Hello everyone and welcome back to another video on the channel!

In this video, I showcase the full trip I took from Ashton-under-Lyne to Manchester Victoria as I made my way back home.

This wasn't the original video idea for today. The original plan was to record a trip experience video on the Metrolink from Manchester to Ashton instead, however I messed up on my timing as when I arrived my GM Day Ranger would now no longer be valid for 2 hours due to the peak time weekday restriction. I also messed up with the location as I went to Victoria instead of Piccadilly to catch an Ashton tram.

It was a sunny and calm day for some travelling. I caught the 18:55 service out from Stalybridge. We arrived on-time however, a trespass incident between Wigan and Bolton had just that moment occurred resulting in every service heading in that direction getting either heavily delayed or cancelled. This train ended up being cancelled while waiting at Manchester. Fortunately it didn't effect me as I had something to do in Manchester anyway. It was a good job I left Ashton when I did as well, as pretty much every single service heading through there had since been cancelled for the rest of the day.... Phew!

I hope you enjoy this video and make sure to leave a LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.
