Sandhills station

[Sweeneytoad]

Sadly I don’t think it will - no where near enough has been done.

Yeah I have to agree, personally I hope its what takes down our Metro Mayor.

Fellas a disgrace, if he had anything about him he’d have resigned a while back.

First proper test of it's ability to cope today.

It will be intresting to see how it goes , not expecting it to go smoothly myself.
The whole thing hasn't been thought through ,
all there eggs are in on basket , sandhills station, a failed train signal failure ect and every goes tits up.
The clear anti car stance hasn't helped why no park and ride sites for instance extra parking spaces
close the road but allow the buses to drop off near the ground.
There are only 100 car spaces for the disabled already full.
Lots people can't walk far so basically hard luck.
Anybody know were the coaches for away fans and supporters clubs are going to park?
The amount of disused land in the area they could have done a far better job.
Looks like its been done just to tick boxes to say we have been trying.

The car parking restrictions are total madness. Why didn’t they wait to see how the support used cars and trains, buses before they implemented these stupid changes to parking?

They want to be seen as being environmentally friendly and encourage (or force) everyone to use what public transport is available, because we all know that cars are evil and are destroying the planet.

I doubt it's wanting to be seen to do it, most major cities have made or are making changes to reduce car traffic and increase public transport and bike usage. It's common sense. I wish they'd go further

Still think uberboats up and down from the stadium would help

Perhaps when we own and develop the other docks people will get there earlier and hang around longer

It was absolutely fine today. I left at full time and walked to Sandhills, and was in the train within 10 minutes

That sounds promising. Did they have different queues for different trains or just the one queue?

Different queues for different trains mate. Was well organised.

Different queues barricaded off from the approach road. Seamless for me getting on the Ormskirk, can't fault them. Did leave after the legends game and another little saunter round the stadium though so how it'll go in a couple of Sundays we will have to wait and see

I walked up the side of the Titanic to Great Howard St. and got a 919 bus straight away but it took 30 mins to get to Queen Square . Will try Sandhills next time.

Glad to hear things went a bit smoother up at Sandhills but having something to hold some of the crowd back on Saturday might have helped the situation a bit which will be different when the Brighton game comes around.
