The local Metrolink tram service is a fairly widespread system, but the amount of ticket inspections that take place is laughable. I have constantly seen people walk onto the platform and board a tram without ever buying a...

No wonder there are so many Metrolink fare dodgers

Koalemos @Asylum (47893) • Manchester, England 18 Apr 16

I regularly see people walk onto the platform at my local tram station and board a tram without purchasing a ticket. There are also many people that I know personally who never buy a ticket, but travel into the city on a fairly...

There seem to a lot of people trying to avoid tram fares lately

Koalemos @Asylum (47893) • Manchester, England 1 Mar 16

It is not unusual for me to see a group of Metrolink inspectors at a few of the town centre stations, but it is rare to see them actually stop anyone without a ticket. Today I arrived at Victoria railway station, where there were...

How could I miss a station this size?

Koalemos @Asylum (47893) • Manchester, England 8 Dec 15

When I walked to the Metrolink station earlier to make my usual visit to the city centre, I arrived just as the tram was leaving. This did not bother me because they run every 12 to 15 minutes, but looking at the screen I noticed...

My welfare review meeting went relatively painlessly. They were pleased by how many jobs I have sent for in the last few weeks, though none proved fruitful. They suggested I search on their own Twitter page, possibly hoping that...

Diary – 30th September 2015

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 1 Oct 15

It has been months since I stopped keeping my diary. Computer crashes kept me offline for eight weeks in early Summer, so my most recurring feature was flat-lined. I miss it and today sees its return, here on Mylot. It isn’t the...

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 7 Sep 15

The mode of transport I'll be using a lot this week. Manchester's trams are pretty neat except when they get very over-crowded when they can be a living Hell. Getting tickets for them is annoying as you get the tickets from a very...

Metrolink: How low can you go?

whimsystoryteller @whimsystoryteller (1743) • United States 14 Sep 08

I am so angry with Metrolink for blaming the engineer of the Metrolink train for the crash on Friday. The man is dead and cannot defend himself and the investigation isn't even complete and they are already using this poor man as...
